    As he spoke, his eyes, nose and mouth disappeard. Suddenly, his face became as smooth as an egg... and, at the same time, his light went out...

    از اونجایی که ترجمه ی همین کتاب رو خوندم فارسی می نویسم. ترجمه ی کتاب اشکال داشت سه چهار جا . داستان ها بینهایت خلاصه بودن که البته تقصیر مترجم نیست. اما یه سری از چیزایی که خوندم برام جالب بود مثل داستان موجینا.

    Q. Do you know any Japanese ghost story?

    A. Yes. When I was in elementary school, I believed Toire no Hanako-san. It is a ghost of girl who appears in the toilet. I was really scared, so I could not go to the toilet alone...ha ha

    English used in this book is very easy, so I understand and imagine the story. Also, the pictures are cute. Therefore, it is not scary!
    I can know some ghost stories which I do not know!

    Q. What is your scariest dream?
    My scariest dream is that I killed my all family members.
    At the moment, I got up soon and my clothes were soaking wet with sweat. It was most uncomfortable!

    I finished this book and I enjoyed it very much.
    However, I am very slow to read books. Therefore, I want to read faster!
