The introduction literally promises horror/suspense stories equivalent to Poe's classics, including psychological terror & brilliant writing. That intro wasn't written tor this collection. The first story is about ghosts. The second is about ghosts. The third about a ghost. The fourth about a ghost. You get the idea. None of the ghosts or stories are interesting, scary, psychologically terrifying, or even memorable. This writer's no Poe. Grammar & formatting good, as if that's the only important thing necessary for good writing: those are givens tor any professional. Telling great stories is the key to a good book. This one lacks the key. Read Poe instead. His work is brilliant & free, besides.
