Most of the stories were good, but the one that really stands out in my mind was the final story, a short novel called "Elsewhere," by William Peter Blatty, author of The Exorcist. I did figure out what was going on about halfway through, but that didn't stop it from being really creepy and the closest to truly scary of any of the stories.

"Elsewhere" was about Joan Freeboard, a Realtor who wanted to sell an unoccupied mansion on an island in the Hudson River. Unfortunately, the mansion was rumored to be haunted, so she convinced a writer, a psychic, and a ghosthunter to spend the night with her in the mansion to prove it wasn't haunted. All the characters were finely drawn and interesting, and the haunted mansion lived up to its name quite impressively. ( )
