Absolutely none of the stories were in the least scary. A few of the stories had horrible structure.

Most of the stories were boring

This just wasn't what I expected I felt like the stories always seemed flat at the end and I was just left sitting their thinking " Wait..what?" once I had gathered my thoughts I felt unsatisfied with how things ended like I still had questions but not in the eerie kinda fun way..The narrating was good for some stories and boring on others. There were some stories that I really really enjoyed and others I was to bored listening to recall. I finished the whole book so obliviously it wasn't terrible but it just wasn't for me...

Wasn't for me

As with most Collected works (whatever the media); there were some writers, and readers that I liked better than others. there usually will be at least one that it is hard for me to not just skip on to the next. That is why I left it with a mid rating in general.
