No meat on this Bone

There is no research or in depth analysis on anything. No history. No interviews or quoted accounts. Nothing. This author doesn't even go into any sort of background at all. Each 'case' has an introduction of purple prose about the area and how its a mystery what happened, the formula going something like this: it was blahblah park, blahblah time, soandso went missing, more purple prose about the park beauty, 'whispers' it could be supernatural, 1-2 sentences about creature, then ending with a cautionary 'the outdoors are dangerous.'

The ghost chapter was silly and even more vague.

The A.I. narrator was not great either. monotone and mispronouncing names left and right.

I wouldn't even reccomend this for those who want bite sized stories, as no story actually gets told.
