I found these four stories all really anticlimactic and a bit dull. They all started out very interesting but I often found that by the end of each story I was bored and just didn't really care.
But I was expecting them to have more paranormal elements to them. Mainly because I watched the Fear Street films first and I thought that they would be more like them.
I think it didn't help that there were typos throughout either. They felt dated. And the writing style was very heavy handed in telling you what was happening and failed to show what was happening 70-80% of the time. Or at least that's what it felt like to me.
I just don't think these four stories were well written at all.
