These stories seem anything but real.

I’d be interested to know what makes a story “real”. If these are true stories that are heavily doctored I’d be surprised, because every one is dramatic, yet predictable. None has its own voice, as you would expect of a true anthology or even a good researcher, intent on portraying individuals’ experience well. True stories can sometimes be anticlimactic, but I read them because they are true. Conspicuously missing are the stories that talk about footsteps that, “came closer, and closer, and closer…and then they stopped.” In these stories, the ghost relays its history and distress with pure introspection, the protagonist (usually a child or teen) solves the problem, then is rewarded handsomely, or some such formula. Even taken as fiction, they are formulaic and cheesy. It should be labeled as fiction, unless the author provides a pretty compelling explanation that helps us understand how they are factual. Did she interview 1,000 people and publish 50? Who are the participants? Is she retelling stories collected orally, or from existing sources? Did she take artistic liberties? I’ve never seen an anthology by another with no authors’ names, and so little explanation. I’d be more inclined to read another volume if this was honestly labeled as fiction.
