This was a cute collection of creepy stories that was very well-framed. I love the idea of a frame story, and having one that works as its own story as well as a frame story was a nice surprise--I was expecting it to simply be the first of the stories in the book. There is a wide range of timefr...
Wow!! What a great book for middle graders and teens!! These short stories are weaved together with the overall story of narrator. Such wonderful variety, amazingly all written by the same author. Each short story is tole in the first person by a different ghost. I loved every story and found myself...

Were you a fan of Goosebumps or the Twilight Zone? Then On the Day I Died: Stories from the Grave is the book for you. I wasn't sure if I was going to like this book. I was kind of expecting something really morbid. I mean the stories are about the day these teens died. But, it was surprisingl...
The different stories in this book were interesting. One of the stories about the insane aslyum ended abruptly and I think that so much more could have been done with that topic.

Read This Review & More Like It On My Blog!This is a creepy love-letter to Chicago, its history and to teens who love to hear things go bump in the night. Though I am slightly too old to be really creeped out by this collection of ten, often vastly different, stories of death and often weirdness (ex...
In the synopsis, the author is described, amongst other things, as versatile and that is certainly one of the adjectives I would wholeheartedly attach to her. This versatility is especially evident in On the Day I Died. It is quite difficult to develop different and distinct voices in one book and F...
*This is actually 3.5 stars, but I rounded down. It was on the lower side of 3.5 lol. This was a great collection of stories of how each of these characters died. I liked how it was set up though. It wasn't like a typical anthology would be with just having the short stories in it. The short stories...
I've always been a big fan of ghost stories. There's something about being spooked, about getting that shiver up your spine as you read, that makes me just devour them. So of course when I saw Candace Fleming's On The Day I Died, I had to read it. What I found between these pages was a perfect blend...
