This is a great collection of short stories. Some are downright creepy while others get you thinking. I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes short stories.

I enjoyed this classic collection. There were a quite a few standouts but there were also couple stories mixed in that I could have done without. My favorites were The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gillman, The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allen Poe, Home by Shirley Jackson, and The Eyes by Edith Wharton. I also enjoyed Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne and A Ghost Story by Mark Twain. All-in-all I found the majority of the stories interesting and thought-provoking. Some were pretty creepy and timely as well. I’d definitely recommend this collection to anyone who enjoys classic short stories incorporating elements of horror. These aren’t necessarily the type of horror stories that will keep you up at night but they do make you stop and think.

I think it’s ok... not really terrifying enough. A little bit dull. But the way it’s set out and the writing style of each author flows well. I can see why people will enjoy this but it’s not for me.
