Ghostwise: A Book of Midnight Stories

Rating:
Summary: Things that go bump in the night!
Review: Practicing storytellers contributed these hair-raising tales, which are divided into the sections, Heart and Horror, Shhh..., Reaching Across, Maximum Nightmare, and Bonestories. Varied and distinct voices tell each creepy tale, and a section at the end provides brief information on the tellers and their tales. There is a story here for every horror fan, but that also means that not every tale will appeal to every reader. Traditional stories such as "Will the Circle be Unbroken" are joinced by contemporary urban myths such as "Room for One More." Should be useful for more sophisticated scary story readers and adults looking for read-alouds or stories to tell that will provide "maximum nightmare." Fun, quick reading.
