Thirteen Chairs by Dave Shelton

This was requested by a student and came in on our recent order.

Um, I'm not really sure what to make of it.

Does anyone remember Are You Afraid of the Dark?  It was a show on Nickelodeon.  Kids would gather and tell ghost stories.  Two that really stick out to me are the one about the haunted school pool and the one about the hotel owner stealing his guests lives.

Anyway, this was sorta like that.  It's in essence a collection of ghost stories, like Death Walks Tonight or the scary stories trilogy set every book fair has.

Some of the stories were good, some not so much.

But what I'm still really confused about is whether the tellers are ghost themselves?  If Jack, the boy who finds them?

This is a super quick read, less than an hour for me.  Not sure it was totally worth the time.
