  • Stories are short.
While I have not completed this book the stories are very interesting. It is a compilation of literary stories, very thought provoking and spooky at times. A very good read.

  • A unique situation
This was the first page when opening the book and my daughter couldn't agree more 😆 I thought I was tripping but apparently the pages were placed the wrong way in the book (backwards and upside down) and we had a great laugh.. and I think it's pretty cool and unique.. I'm happy it was sent to me but I'm disappointed in the fact that I was looking for a book collect with the stories by Shirley Jackson the lottery.. either way 5 stars for the unique book ... show more

  • Very nicely put together. Stories an sturdiness
Sent to Mom as one of Xmas gifts. She opened already. She loves it an can't wait to start reading. Great gift for "real" book enthusiasts!

  • Beautiful book!
This was the perfect gift for my aunt. She loves old literature and this book was too cute not to pass up. The stories are accurate to the orignal and maintain a vintage feeling.

  • Intriguing
I purchased this book so when my husband and I travel I can read it! I started reading it and I cannot stop it is very interesting I love the short stories. I recommend this book if you are bored!

  • Copy/pasted from a different format
Just casually flipping through the book I noticed many words merged together. Taking a closer look it appears that someone copy/pasted these stories from some other format resulting in the word-merging. There isn't even a content page to let you know what stories are available on which pages. It's fitting that the company name is "Happy Hour" because the editor had to have been drunk. I have refunded this purchase because this was supposed to be used for homeschooling and I cannot present this mess to the intended audience. ... show more
