this was odd. I think I enjoyed the read, I guess, and the humour in it worked very well for me.

Exceedingly long descriptions of every single thing, but over all I think it made sense if we take in account the whole book and Patrick. Interesting read, extremely gross and violent at times. Bateman is pure unhinged chaos.

I was not fond of it. The ending part seemed to be headed a nice way, but then the twist just ruined the whole story for me, since it didn't end up making any sense...

a fun, quick read. i had never had the chance to look at it before so I was very excited.
the illustrations are definitely a big highlight of this.
some good stories, other were a bit more on the meh side, but it's definitely enjoyable and ooky-spooky.
More traditional and modern-day stories of ghosts, witches, vampires, "jump" stories, and scary songs.

i feel as though the first one had more interesting stories, there were fewer here which captured my attention. however, i still enjoyed it quite a lot, and i'll definitely revisit it.
