Product Description

Product Description

When I started researching for the material to fill this little horror reader, I wanted to fill it with some bizarre, true stories that I had come across from time to time in the archives of major newspapers like the Washington Post and the New York Times.

While some might want to write off these stories of horror and mystery as just so much bunkum created by panicked witnesses or over sensational reporters in hunt for a good tale, the fact that many of the stories are corroborated by more than one credible witness makes such a blanket dismissal impossible.

Some of the stories bring out the base qualities of our fellow human beings, while others create more questions than they answer. Some of the stories are downright bizarre and terrorizing -- such as the documented cased of real flesh-eating ghouls.

If I had one goal for writing this little horror reader it was to share with you my own astonishment, fright and contemplation some of these documented news accounts triggered in me.

This is Really Awful 18 Jan 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
This ebook is full of typos and strange grammatical infringements. The illustrations are inserted in a very amateur way. Some of the stories are quite entertaining but most are disjointed and not at all frightening. I did like some of the pictures.

Not Worth a Dollar 17 Feb 2011
By Joseph - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a very lightweight work with little substance. You get maybe a part of a page of suppossed myth mixed with a part of a page of suppossed fact. Really, this wouldn't interest me if I was a 13-year old for more than a few minutes.

Very Amateurish Writing 2 May 2011
By Lisa - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
Reads more like the author copied and pasted his notes and called it a book. No regard for grammar, punctuation or sentence structure and author slips from 1st to 3rd person at several points. Appears to be a rough draft of a middle school research paper than an actual story.

Utter Rubbish 30 Jan 2012
By Amanda - Published on Amazon.com

What to criticise first? The abundance of typos and obvious lack of proofreading? The amateurish style of writing and regular errors in tense and perspective? The fact that the majority of the stories are from the 1800's and were a simple cut and paste job into this "manuscript"?

The thing that really made me roll my eyes so hard they almost fell out of my head was the authors accounts of scary events in his own life... like the time when he was a kid and a swarm of little gnats or fruit flies buzzed around him in bed and he cried and ran to his parents and they told him to go back to sleep. TERRIFYING!!! Or the first time he was seduced by a succubus (I'm not kidding) who raped him in his sleep, leaving no evidence or any negative impact on his life. There was a second attack too... when a small gremlin type creature attacked his genitals... yes. Luckily, when he woke up, he was only covered in sweat, not blood. Sounds like a total non-event really.

Sigh. If I were to dramatise my own nightmares and the time I swallowed a fly, it would be much more frightening than this steaming pile of crap. In fact, I might just do that. For $1, I'm sure someone would buy it.
