In the first story it's about a guy named Pat Diver the tinker. He was not so very easily frighten. It was late and nobody wanted to let him in their house. They said go away and slammed the door. Until they came to a cabin, He looked in the window and saw an old couple. He thought surely they would let him in. they said he could say but he had to tell them a story. He didn’t know any stories to tell they slammed the door so hard that pat fell. He was tired hungry and mad. He had never before met some unfriendly people. He decided to sleep in a rickety old barn behind the cabin. In a couple of seconds he was fast asleep until later in the night. He was awakening by harsh voices. He didn’t dare make a sound. Then there in the middle in the barn he saw to huge men starting a fire on the dirt. Their face was hidden by their long greasy hair. When the flame rose pat saw something near the big men. It was a corpse! Now pat could barely keep his teeth from chattering. He watched as the man started roasting the corpse. Soon the man roasting the corpse was getting tired they had a fight then one decided to let pat diver do it. Pat was scared how they did now he was there.

He deiced not to move maybe they couldn’t see him. One of the men went towards Pat and pulled him out of the straw. They yelled at him and told him to start roasting. He was tired but Pat did as he was told. Keep turning one yelled. He kept on turning until finally one said “well be right back.” the two big men dissapeared.pat kept on roasting and roasting until finally thee rope snap and the corpse fell.pat ran and flew out the door. He ran as fast as his legs could carry him. He slid and hid in a ditch with over grown weed. He was tried to catch his breath. Next he started hearing heavy footsteps it was the two big men! They were carrying the corpse. The one carrying the corpse said “I’m tired you take a turn” “let pat diver do it” said the other. They put the corpse on pat shoulder. Then they were off they started walking and walking it seems like they walked miles until they came to a stop. One of the big men started digging. “I’m tired can you take a turn.” he said the other one refused and said to let pat diver to do it. He dug and dug and dug. “We have to go you’ll have to finish the rest” the two big men said. Pat did as he was told he dug put the corpse in the hole and put the dirt back in the hole. When he was finally done he ran this time faster than ever until he found a house. He knocked on the door surprised to see the old couple again they told pat they would let him stay if he told them a story.pat agreed and they let him inside. The old lady called down her to grandsons. Out came two big men with long greasy hair.

Pat diver was I think a hard working man, even though those two really big guys made him do all those weird things. I don’t think I could go to all that without at least falling down. The two big men were mean. They made pat do all those things to the corpse. Where did they even get the corpse? Who was the corpse?

I think book is okay. I kind of like it but not as much as I do with other books. It’s not really scary. Then again still most of the story is very interesting. Not too interesting to scare me though. I just like how the story ends with a weird twist. I'm looking forward for more stories with a twist. J

The first story I read was courting Astriah it’s about a guy named Georg who knew he was going to have a really good future now that he is the apprentice of the greatest chef in all of Germany. So he decided to look for a bride. One day he was walking along a street when he noticed a long-haired maiden not so far away. He decided to follow her through the twisting streets until she stopped to unlock a door. He get to see her face but at least he knew where the girl lived. He knocked on the door to see if she would open the door. “Who is it?”She said Georg was sad she didn’t open the door but happy she responded. Georg said his name and told her all about his job and how he will be full of good fortune also that he was looking for a bride. She agreed to meet him but not right now because her parents were very not well. He was glad that she would like to meet him so he left and went away.

That night he had a dream about the lady he was remembering about when he followed her down the streets. Except this time he followed her to a forest. When he finally caught up to her he woke up. He was a little mad why he can’t see the lady’s face. Then he remembered today he was going to meet the lady later in the afternoon. He got up and went to work. Today he was going to learn how to make blood sausage. When he was mixing all the ingredients together he couldn’t help but wonder about the lady. When he was done the chief tasted it. He was shocked never before seen a apprentice learn something so quickly. When work was done he left and went to the lady house and knocked on the door three times. She didn’t open the door but she knew it was him. “I’m sorry “she said. “My parents are still not well.” George was sad but surprised how she knew it was him. She told him that they would meet tomorrow. So George went off. That night he had the very same dream about the lady. When he finally was about to see her face he woke up. Now George was furious why can’t he see the lady’s face.

Right after work he went to the lady’s house and knocked on the door three times. She didn’t open the door but she knew it was him. She said her parents we too sick for her to meet him right now. This time she said something different. She said she would meet him at midnight in front of his house standing by the fountain in the square. “I’ll meet you there.”George replied. As midnight came Georg waited by the water fountain He waited and waited. When it was finally midnight he gave up and went home to sleep. He was dreaming about the lady. When that was happening the lady flew in the window. When he woke up he saw her face. It was a face of a old lady. She started devouring him. He screamed but no one heard. His heat stopped beating all the blood was drained from his body.

I think Georg was a little too easily angered. He only knew the girl for two days or three days. He barely even knew her name. The lady seems nice at first. A little weird later in the story. Then turns into an old lady who sucks people blood. I guess you can’t judge a book by looking at the cover, Or at least the back.

My opinion of this book changed a little. When I read the first story I knew what was going to happen. When I read this was going to be a normal Cinderella story. Turns out they but another twist in the story. Instead of being a beautiful lady. She was an old lady who sucks blood out of Georg.this book is better.
