Review by: Andrea on Aug. 01, 2012 :
This book contains 10 short stories. They range from ghosts, werewolves, vampires, zombies and paranormal elements. I enjoyed them for the most part. A couple of them seemed to end rather abruptly. A lot of them have twists in them which I have always liked about this author is the twists and surprises in her stories. My favorite was probably "They All Come Out at Dark" which has a vampire and a human who are hunting each other as a regular part of their routine. Overall a quick read that I enjoyed.

I received this ebook free through LibraryThing member giveaways. No review was requested but I still wanted to post my honest review.

Review by: Liza Butler on May 10, 2012 :
These stories were short and funny. I enjoyed the first one the most, a ghost hunt in the middle of the night.

I like how most of the stories included the undead as the characters but you didn't find out until the end.
