Great classic hauntings

Boy it was great to hear all these old stories again! when I was young these used to scare me so much! alas, I am pretty darn old now so I didn't get scared but I enjoyed revisiting them again.

Short stories for Halloween 🎃

6 tales varying greatly in length about malicious doctors, undead, devils and ghouls. Good choice for Halloween while waiting on trick and treaters.

Struggled to maintain interest.

This collection seemed like it would be pretty fun. I'm a big fan of older literature and horror short stories, but the only one I really enjoyed was the Body Snatcher. They were just pretty bland which is likely why they are included in this anthology. If it included in your subscription and like ghost why not though right? I really enjoyed the narrator however.
