How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsNot your usual anthology
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2019
I don’t understand the poor reviews for this book. It probably a cultural thing. Americans liken horror to gore and the Brits, majority of the writers, use psychological horror and build off old folktales. After all stone circles, witches, the faey, wild hunt and other myths are ingrained in the culture. This book twines does both.

1.0 out of 5 starsGreat book, terrible seller
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2020
Seriously, the book is probably great, but the condition—Like New— no way. To me, ‘Like New’ means like friggin new, not ripped, crushed, and stained. The seller, Book Superstore, lies. Amazon will, of course, do nothing.

Another big disappointment. None of these stories are remotely scary. I have yet to read a anthology of stories for Halloween that is worth reading . Just terrible!

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good 🎃
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2018

I enjoyed this anthology. There were a few good stories in here, and I’m always happy to find Ramsay Campbell stories that I haven’t read yet. I think I skipped past like two stories. The last story was a poem and I thought it was a disappointing ending to the anthology, but hey what the hell do I know. All in all an entertaining mixture of Halloween shorts.

Lots of variety here but nothing very scary. A few left me wondering what the heck I'd just read. All in all, I would recommend this book.
