"Ok, confession: I read a majority of this book in the stacks while working at the library. Don't judge me--if you had to shelf-read for hours on end, you would take the occasional break to. But anyway, I loved the stories in this book. They're the old-fashioned, downright creepy stories that are, unfortunately, seldom seen nowadays. My favorites were The Monkey's Paw and this story about a creepy bird-like creature that I can't remember the title of (it was the simplest story yet I can't help but think about it whenever I'm in a empty house). If you're ever in the mood for something scary, check this book out."
