This collection of short stories is really cool. It is presented to the reader as a physical manifestation of the stories. They will be housed in drawers, closets, and entire floors of the Cabinet of Curiosities. Each section is comprised of several stories with a somewhat common theme. The authors were Claire Legrand, Katherine Catmull, Emma Trevayne and Stefan Bachmann. Some of the stories were very dark indeed. They were all quite enjoyable, though. I think that this would really appeal to kids who are outgrowing Goosebumps and want something that is creepier, more imaginative and entertaining. I can think of many adults who would enjoy it, as well. On the whole, I highly recommend this one to anyone who likes to walk in the shadows now and then.
On a side note, some covers I've seen say 40 tales rather than 36...I'm curious about those missing 4 stories...
