This is a box with a series of eerie/spooky short stories edited by Patton Oswalt. I’m quite sensitive to scary stories but none of these, save for the first and shortest was really very scary. The first story was an old fashioned, quite spooky, ghost story, that even thought I read in broad daylight, scared me quite thoroughly. This box was a fun read for October.
