I thought that this was a pretty good book! From what I had heard from other friends, however I thought it would be more creepy. Unfortunately, this was not the case. I think that I may have a different sense of what is creepy than they do, though. It was a fun, quick read with really cool illustrations. If you want a good read that will only take a couple of hours. I highly suggest this book. There were a lot of moments I found predictable, but I was still intrigued by the ideas of the novel. I gave it a four out of five stars because I wanted it to kick up the creepy factor a notch, but all-in-all it was a really good book!

I love Edward Gorey, and I wish I'd have discovered his work sooner. I love the macabre stories, and the illustrations are delightfully creepy. The Hapless Child is probably my favorite story within the volume.

Creepy but not really scary. It was a good movie, but I was expecting something a little more frightening. I will say that I'm looking forward to seeing The Nun a continuation of the story.

Great story! This is the first out of three books in 'The Dreaming' series. I have read all 3 and I must say they are very creepy. Very good series recommended to manga horror fans.

I won this book on a Goodreads Giveaway, I finished it shortly after I started it. I found it extremely chilling and creepy how terrifyingly realistic of a character Mike was throughout the entire story.

The first chapter was amazing, and registered nicely on my creepy scale. The rest of it was nice, but I didn't think it quite measured up to the glorious writing that made up that first chapter.

This book truly scared me. It was creepy and well written and I didn’t want to put it down. I can’t wait to read more by this author. If you like scares pick this one up!
