Thirteen Chairs
Thirteen Chairs | Dave Shelton
13 posts | 15 read | 6 to read
When a boy finds himself drawn into an empty house one cold night, he enters a room in which 12 unusal-looking people sit around a table. And the 13th chair is pulled out for him. One by one, each of those assembled tells their own ghost story: tales of doom and death; of ghostly creatures and malevolent spirits; of revenge and reward. It is only at the end of the night that the boy starts to understand what story he must tell.

This was such a fun and easy collection of ghost stories. I wouldn't expect this one to keep you up all night, but it's definitely worth picking up for a cozy evening in.

I'm a sucker for horror books with illustrations, even if they lean on the milder side, as this one does.

This was a pretty cool book, not a masterpiece but I didn't expect it to be. The book contains ghosts stories told by thirteen different people and some of them were very good! Reminded me a lot of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, I'll definitely want to read this again around Halloween 😱🌟

Der 13 Stuhl

It's not often that I choose to read books in German,and even less so when they are originally published in English
However,this book came highly rated and recommended by my local bookstore here in Vienna,Austria,and I just had to have it
It was a super enjoyable read.I understand how some people might feel it to be a bit so-so if reading it in English,but to enjoy these fun stories in my foreign language,was an amazing feeling!

Laying here with an Excedrin migraine didn't even participate in the readathon yesterday 😟 Anywhoo, has anyone read this book? I put it on hold at the library. Kicked the cats out of my room feeling nauseous. Can't sleep but probably shouldn't be straining my eyes on the phone either. But... all I can think about is books I want to read. Any suggestions for happy books to read? Love yas Littens!! ❤️😻📚👍😎😊😍

Overall if you like interesting ghost stories thrown into a narrative that doesn't quite make sense but has a good premise, this is for you. Don't get me wrong, it was good for what it was, but could've probably been better.
