Roald Dahl's Book of Ghost Stories

Reviewed by Anonymous

Roald Dahl’s Book of Ghost Stories is an anthology selected for readers who enjoy atmosphere, suspense, and supernatural unease rather than Dahl’s usual comic children’s fiction. The collection introduces a range of established ghost-story voices and styles, making it suitable for older teens and adults—or mature younger readers comfortable with frightening material. Its strength is variety: readers can compare different approaches to dread, mystery, and the uncanny. A mild limitation is uneven accessibility, since some stories use older language, slower pacing, or ambiguity that may challenge readers expecting straightforward scares.
