Nancy L. (Waterlylly) reviewed This is a scholarly folklore book, not a "true ghost stories" book. on 5/27/2009 + 3 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 1

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, but if what you're looking for is a book of ghost stories, you will only enjoy this book if what you like is seeing them dissected as folklore and urban legend rather than told as stories.

I bought this hoping for light reading, and it was a rather dry, scholarly kind of book. I'm sure it's actually a pretty good example of of a scholarly book-length paper on campus ghosts, but it was not a light read.
