This is a slight collection of spooky tales that relies heavily on the accompanying free app. Without an introduction, the book jumps into brief accounts of real-life hauntings, with atmospheric but murky oil paintings opposite the text on each double-page spread. Gimmicky and light on substance but still diverting and slightly scary. Bib.
