Since it is a compilation, it's perfectly okay to skim over, or skip, the stories that might not keep your interest as well. In fact that's what I really enjoyed about On The Day I Died overall. Some of these stories are better than others, but they are all wonderfully tragic. I won't tell you how he gets there, but I will tell you that he is braver than me! As the plot moves forward, Mike is treated to the tales of the dismal lives that each inhabitant of the graveyard lived, as well as the unfortunate way they met their demise. Our main character Mike finds himself in the middle of a cemetery at night. What I really liked is how the book is a compilation of stories within a larger, encompassing story. I'll warn you, once you start reading there is no turning back. What I found between these pages was a perfect blend of urban legends and completely original stories. So of course when I saw Candace Fleming's On The Day I Died, I had to read it. There's something about being spooked, about getting that shiver up your spine as you read, that makes me just devour them. I've always been a big fan of ghost stories.
