Summary:

I found the concept of this book quite interesting, beacause instead of having one long story going on for twenty chapters, you have a new story at each chapter!  The fact that each chapter is different makes it nearly impossible to get bored of the book, also, I quite enjoy horror books, and in this book, it’s all about horror, screams, murder, and more!  If you get bored of reading long stories, I would say that this is the book for you!
