Even after only a year, I don\u2019t recognize myself in its time-darkened face. Its smile, once prominent, now draws in a thin line below its cheeks, no longer blushed with potential, but hollowed with wistful realization.

Sometimes, it\u2019s longing, guilt, fear, the loss of what might have been. Haunted is an extraordinary collection of haunting tales and poems, from a diverse group of authors. This book had me engrossed in an eerie assembly of tales and beautifully placed poetry, some modern, some that took me back in time. From death\u2019s bride, to classic campfire tales, lost love, elements of fate and the person we all want to get away from, I was hooked to keep reading. A little something for everyone, Haunted is creepy, beautiful, spooky, it definitely tickled my senses. A great collection, I will definitely read again.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/gp\/customer-reviews\/R3SWXLH2WNLEP7\/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&amp;ASIN=B09X29B237\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u2013 Layla<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-rating-star\" style=\"text-align:left\" itemprop=\"reviewRating\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Rating\"><p><span aria-hidden=\"true\">\u2b50<\/span><span aria-hidden=\"true\">\u2b50<\/span><span aria-hidden=\"true\">\u2b50<\/span><span aria-hidden=\"true\">\u2b50<\/span><span aria-hidden=\"true\">\u2b50<\/span><\/p><span style=\"display: none;\" itemprop=\"worstRating\" content=\"0.5\"><span>\n<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n\t<path class=\"\" fill=\"currentColor\" stroke=\"currentColor\" d=\"M12,17.3l6.2,3.7l-1.6-7L22,9.2l-7.2-0.6L12,2L9.2,8.6L2,9.2L7.5,14l-1.6,7L12,17.3z\" \/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/span>\n<span>\n<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n\t<path class=\"\" fill=\"currentColor\" stroke=\"currentColor\" d=\"M12,17.3l6.2,3.7l-1.6-7L22,9.2l-7.2-0.6L12,2L9.2,8.6L2,9.2L7.5,14l-1.6,7L12,17.3z\" \/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/span><\/span><span style=\"display: none;\" ><span>\n<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n\t<path class=\"\" fill=\"currentColor\" stroke=\"currentColor\" d=\"M12,17.3l6.2,3.7l-1.6-7L22,9.2l-7.2-0.6L12,2L9.2,8.6L2,9.2L7.5,14l-1.6,7L12,17.3z\" \/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/span>\n<span>\n<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n\t<path class=\"\" fill=\"currentColor\" stroke=\"currentColor\" d=\"M12,17.3l6.2,3.7l-1.6-7L22,9.2l-7.2-0.6L12,2L9.2,8.6L2,9.2L7.5,14l-1.6,7L12,17.3z\" \/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/span><\/span><span style=\"display: none;\" ><span>\n<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n\t<path class=\"\" fill=\"currentColor\" stroke=\"currentColor\" d=\"M12,17.3l6.2,3.7l-1.6-7L22,9.2l-7.2-0.6L12,2L9.2,8.6L2,9.2L7.5,14l-1.6,7L12,17.3z\" \/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/span>\n<span>\n<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n\t<path class=\"\" fill=\"currentColor\" stroke=\"currentColor\" d=\"M12,17.3l6.2,3.7l-1.6-7L22,9.2l-7.2-0.6L12,2L9.2,8.6L2,9.2L7.5,14l-1.6,7L12,17.3z\" \/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/span><\/span><span style=\"display: none;\" ><span>\n<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n\t<path class=\"\" fill=\"currentColor\" stroke=\"currentColor\" d=\"M12,17.3l6.2,3.7l-1.6-7L22,9.2l-7.2-0.6L12,2L9.2,8.6L2,9.2L7.5,14l-1.6,7L12,17.3z\" \/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/span>\n<span>\n<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n\t<path class=\"\" fill=\"currentColor\" stroke=\"currentColor\" d=\"M12,17.3l6.2,3.7l-1.6-7L22,9.2l-7.2-0.6L12,2L9.2,8.6L2,9.2L7.5,14l-1.6,7L12,17.3z\" \/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/span><\/span><span style=\"display: none;\" itemprop=\"bestRating\" content=\"5\"><span>\n<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n\t<path class=\"\" fill=\"currentColor\" stroke=\"currentColor\" d=\"M12,17.3l6.2,3.7l-1.6-7L22,9.2l-7.2-0.6L12,2L9.2,8.6L2,9.2L7.5,14l-1.6,7L12,17.3z\" \/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/span>\n<span>\n<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n\t<path class=\"\" fill=\"currentColor\" stroke=\"currentColor\" d=\"M12,17.3l6.2,3.7l-1.6-7L22,9.2l-7.2-0.6L12,2L9.2,8.6L2,9.2L7.5,14l-1.6,7L12,17.3z\" \/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/span><\/span><span itemprop=\"ratingValue\" class=\"screen-reader-text\" content=\"5\">Rating: 5 out of 5.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>I gained an entirely new perspective into the term &#8220;haunted&#8221; after reading this book. It contained the classic &#8220;haunted houses&#8221;, but also took me on a dizzying tour of the macabre in areas such as dolls, campfires, and the pestilence in our historic past. I was introduced to dark worlds, witchcraft and spirits beyond my understanding. Even though I consider myself a fan of the horror genre, this is not typically a book I would have picked up, but I am definitely glad I did. Bold, terrifying and heart-wrenching is how I would describe this collection. 4 mysterious stars.<\/em><br><a
