Urban legends, campfire stories, slumber party games, these stories that have been passed down generation to generation are the basis for this short story collection. Ghost Games draws on our natural fear yet fascination with the spirit world and the supernatural. Each story features a woman who plays the ghost game and finds a different level of interaction, suspense and fright through their games.

With any short story collection, there are stories that I liked better than others and some stories that I wish would be expanded. I was pulled into the collection by the first story, The Elevator Game. I had never heard of this particular game but was familiar with the incident that prompted the characters to try it out. I loved the tricks that the ghosts played and how it eerily connected to the real incident. The Three Kings Game was very intricate. I had also never heard of this one but loved that the spirits had their own personalities. I especially enjoyed The Closet Game and The Telephone Game that had a little more background into some of the ghosts involved. With classics like Bloody Mary and The Ouija Board and directions at the end for each game, there is something in Ghost Games for any ghost story lover.
