Book review 2-11

I read this book, “The Room in the Tower and other ghost stories”. The stories are mysterious and horror.

The first story is about a woman in a black coat. The main character was a woman who had an elder sister. The sister married a man and they stayed in Dublin, but she got ill and wanted to visit her hometown. The younger sister was happy for her visiting. However, she was dead on her way to home. After that, she also went to Dublin and married a rich man. She had a wonderful time, but she met a strange woman in a room of her husband’s house. She was afraid of her and she decided to return her hometown. She got the real happy life with her father and mother.

The second story is about a lost man and a mysterious house. One day, Imray disappeared and one of his friends started to look for him. He could not find him and he got a room of Strickland’s house. It was a good place, but there were some strange things. He saw a face through one of the windows from the garden and he saw a brown snake in the corner of the ceiling. The man and his guest attacked the snake and broke the ceiling. Suddenly, a thing fell down to the floor and it was Imray. He was killed by someone. The murderer, Bahadur Khan who is a servant of Strickland, admitted that he killed him. The mysterious story ended.

The third story is about a room in a tower. There was a dangerous woman in a picture in a room in a tower. A young woman married an older man and arrived at his house. But his dead wife was still there. A dead man walked through a house every night because he wanted the people there to catch his killer. Sometimes the dead returned…

I am too tired to write.

After reading this, I thought that it was not so scaring. The reason is that I am an adult and the stories are for children rather than for adult. I will read more horror one someday.
