Title: Mediocre and forgettable.
Review: What could have been an interesting collection of stories suffers from a vague, disjointed style with no sense of progression, transition, or really any type of storytelling at all. Another reviewer called the style "conversational," and that's actually a fairly apt description; reading these stories feels like having a conversation with someone who's easily distracted by tangential subjects, so they never get to the point of their original tale. There's little to compel the reader to care, or to believe; in fact, the overall sanctimonious tone of smugness about the author's belief and experiences just turned me off from the start. One generally reads ghost stories for a reason, whether that reason is to be frightened, amused, informed, reassured, or even validated by a similarity to one's own experiences. These stories provide nothing of the sort and are about as interesting (and meaningful) as idle conversation overheard in a cafe.
