Book Review of Alfred Hitchcock's Haunted Houseful

Alfred Hitchcock's Haunted Houseful
sixteendays avatar reviewed on + 130 more book reviews


Oh boy. This collection of short stories is clearly meant for very young children, but at the same time, barely half of them are even "scary" stories in any way. The longest is a Huck & Tom story from Mark Twain, and there is also a Sherlock Holmes story, neither of which have anything to do with hauntings or spooky situations. What's more, all the stories are VERY old fashioned, in a way that just isn't that fun to read.
