The scariest stories in this book are basically about furnishings! 'The Yellow Wallpaper ' continues to be one of the best things ever written and '1408' is extremely creepy.
.
Nearly all the stories in this collection are really good and I was frequently scared to go to bed after reading. The only story I didn't enjoy was 'The White People' which was monumentally boring and rambling. I don't understand why it was included, it's probably the worst short story I've ever read. (I've deducted a whole star just for it.)
.
I also really enjoyed 'Smoke Ghost' as I often wonder why ghosts are always olden days people. Where are the houses haunted by the ghosts of 90's lads in lacoste trackies?! (That's not at all what the smoke ghost is, it's much creepier.)
