    I may be dating myself but I would compare the stories in HAUNTED to ten wonderful episodes of "The Twilight Zone." A show I loved as a kid. Rod Serling would introduce a short story free of gore and horror, but quirky and suspenseful. There was always an unexpected twist at the end that made you think 'what if?'

    Rayne Hall did a good job compiling diverse stories that take us from an English cemetery to Cape Cod, to the year 2048.

    A fun and intriguing read I highly recommend.

    Like so many of us, I love a good ghost story. The spirit world makes for great entertainment. This collection of supernatural tales has been fab for my kindle. It does exactly what a collection of stories should do - easily bring you along and keep you tantalised until the very last page. You can read a title at a time or all in one go. My favourite was "Breakwater Beach" because I'm an old romantic at heart and love a good supernatural love story. For those of you that enjoy a bit of paranormal creepiness, I recommend "Take Me to St Roch's." And for good old-fashioned supernatural revenge, go for "Dark Reunion." I didn't enjoy "The Piano Man" as much as the others. As you can tell, there is loads to choose from. The advantage to this compilation is that all of the authors are good writers and yet their different styles keep you intrigued. I highly recommend "Mother Mine" for anyone who has ever had a difficult mother. Enjoy!

    I've been enjoying horror short story collections recently, so thought I would try a collection of ghost stories. I was expecting spooky tales, but there wasn't too much in the way of chills, some stories were even a bit twee for my tastes.

    So this collection wasn't as much my thing, but there is no denying that these are quality stories, that make up a varied and interesting collection. In particular I enjoyed April Grey's 'Mother Mine', which hinted at a psychological haunting manifesting into reality.

    If you don't need the scares and the chills, but like a good, well written and imaginative ghost story, then I would definitely recommend this collection.

    These are not the cheesy ghost stories that you might see in other Anthologies, Rayne Hall has taken the time to find 10 diverse stories that take you from an English cemetery to Cape Cod, to the year 2048. They draw you in and make you think twice about the things that go bump in the night.

    This was a fun anthology, perfect for Tweens to pick up and the stories are short enough to keep their interest.

    found some of the stories hard to read and understand. A little hard to stay on track and some of the endings left you lost! But over all I liked the stories in this series and one of my Favorites was:
    GHOSTS CAN BLEED by Tracie McBride: Ghosts can bleed. Maurice knows, because he is one or IS he?
    Another one that I really liked was:
    THE MINE SHAFT by Sera Hayes: Curiosity leading superstition digs an early grave.

    One of the ones that I started to read and just could not follow along or get into at all was:
    THE PIANO MAN by Kiersten Hartrim: No one has played the old upright piano in the bar since the Lady Pianist died. This one was hard to follow along with, I found the spelling of words hard to understand. Almost sounded like a pirate was talking, that is really the best way I can explain it.

    Well that is my review of the ebook, if you are interested in haunted stories I would give it a try.

    A couple of the stories were good... some were predicable. It was a quick read. I would not read it twice but once was okay.

    "See how the moonbeams dance around her, making her glow."

    I don't like reading horror stories but this book seemed fun to read on Halloween. I sat reading in the dark in bed with only the glow of a candle and my book light. My favorite story was the third story that was more like a lovely romantic tale with an ocean theme. It was beautifully written. I also liked the story of the lady ghost who played the piano late at night. There is also a tale of a ghost who wants a proper burial. It was perhaps the most scary of all the stories. I found most of the stories very well written and strangely beautiful.

    It was ok to pass some time with but didn't hold my attention. I loved the cover. The stories just left me dry.
