Actually I expected more of this book. The "ghost stories" were extraordinary but personally, I didn't like the style in which they were written. I really am a fan of slow stories, also of slow creepy stories (Bram Stoker's Dracula is one of my favorites and you can't say Dracula is a very fast adventurous vampire) ;) but somehow these just weren't so much my taste. Maybe reading them on the train is one of the reasons, I don't know.
