Some of those tales are very dark for middle grade stories/book. I love when authors go for the horror genres written for kids, but some were limit to young reader. Anyway, those stories have all (or mostly) one good thing, the idea behind them is most of the time very good (crazy ideas!!), but the problem was that they were not poorly, but not well either, written (but its middle-grade so part of it is understandable) and (and this is the main problem) rapidly forgettable. You finish one and you say to yourself «That was a good.» and after 30 minutes or so you just don’t remember or care about it. Maybe young reader would have a different perspective over it, but as an adult, these stories were too much alike and too easily forgotten to make this one a great book. It’s still a decent weird/horror anthology for kids, with very short stories which can be read one or two every night and for a while because there are a lot of them in the book. Not a bad book, but it lack the «wow effect» to reach the four stars, but a good three for this one is well deserve.
