these are the types of stories i think would be best for the light hearted horror fans. generally "ghost stories" has become a term for lightly scary stories that creep you out but don't constantly keep you up at night. a little story to give you that light tingle down the back of your spine. but not stay with you for an extended period of time. spooky things that happen. so when the title says ghost stories in it i think of those kind of stories. not the scarring horror that is junji itou's brand. if you are looking for "light" versions of his work this is the kiddies pool and honestly that is perfectly fine. in my opinon they are great for what they are. ghost stories
