Classic American Ghost Stories: 200 Years of Ghost… par Deborah L. (Editor) Downer
Book of mostly ghost stories collected from various sources. There are a few that are more urban legend type stories but still enjoyable. It being taken from various different sources the storytelling varies from one story to the next but doesn't subtract from the overall feel of the book. she has tried to break it into a number of different categories: ghosts that are coming back after a murder, guarding treasure, vengeance in general, lost loves and the final chapter is devoted more towards hoaxes and or humorous things.… (plus d'informations)
This book is full of awesome stories about ghosts. I really enjoyed most of the stories there were a few stories that I did not care for that much but all books like this have that one or two story that someone that reads it don't like it but all and all it was a good book.
This book was poorly written. I found many errors that an editor should have caught. It was a compilation of stories taken from other books and newspapers, and it seemed that the stories were taken directly from the source without any additional editing. Because of this, they didn't seem to fit well in the compilation. It had some interesting stories, but overall it didn't seem worth the effort. There are much better books of ghost stories out there.
