Prepare to get chicken skin once again--or for the very first time--as you read the 45 stories representing the best of the seven-volume Hawai'i's Best Spooky Tales series. Written by authors of all ages, ethnicities, and occupations, these stories of encounters with the otherworldly in Hawai'i are remarkably varied, surprising, and compelling. The goddess Pele makes an appearance, of course, but so do departed relatives, Pearl Harbor sailors, and the late Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. At hula performances, on golf courses, in cemeteries, or in living rooms, inexplicable things happen to believers and nonbelievers alike.

The Best of Hawai'i's Best Spooky Tales Reviews

  • Diz

    This is an interesting collection of local ghost stories. A lot of these are told as first person experiences, so they're not really structured as stories, so there isn't much effort at building a mood before introducing the haunt. These aren't really that scary, so if you sensitive to being scared, you could probably handle this collection.

  • Anne

    Interesting style of writing since it changed with each individual story and the person telling it. The stories were not re-written to keep to the same style which grated a little with me, they could have been re-told and tweaked just a little in some case.

    Having said that this would be a great handbook to take on a trip to Hawaii especially when visiting area's mentioned

  • Lindy

    True tales are always fun. The editing sucks but I think it’s done on purpose to make them seem more realistic.

  • Pauline

    I'm not going to submit myself any longer to this snooze fest. Barely any of the stories in here can be categorized as such and calling them spooky is a stretch. Not worth the price and was bored throughout.
