My Comments :
These are actually not my books. In fact am too "chicken" to buy and read these books as I know that I would not get a good night sleep after reading them.
Actually , a friend asked me to get them for her from the Big Bad Wolf Books Sale.
Seeing these book sitting there waiting to be pass to my friend was just too much temptation.
Can't help myself from taking a peek on Volume 1. Am surprised that i find myself got caught in the book. The stories actually were not as terrifying as some others that I have read. In fact it was quite enjoyable.
I like Volume 1 and Volume 2 as the stories are more interesting to me. It have the "scare" factor and the "ironic and mysterious" factor like in the "Twilight Zone Series".
Volume 3 was okay. Could be due to me reading 3 books from the same author continuously hence the "surprise" factor had diminished.
Overall, am quite pleased with the stories. I wonder if they have anymore left for the Big Bad Wolf Books AfterMath Sale(if any)
