having read and liked "The Count of Monte Cristo", I was expecting something of the similar genre when I picked this book. The cover is creepy enough and the summary should have warned me that what I am about to read is a compilation of horror stories.

The story telling is dark enough. I could imagined myself, in an unlit room, with the rest of the characters who are in deep exchange of story telling to backed their belief towards death, guillotine, severing one's head, and life. Two particular stories stand out for me and all the while, while reading it, i cannot help but tell myself that if ever the book is adapted into comic books, it will still remain equally or even more creepy.
