Back in middle school I used to read these books. They were collection of ghost stories, claiming some where fiction, while others were "true", or as true as you could get.

The best part about the books though, where their art. They used this really cool, freaky, art work, that looked like someone used a ink pen and splattered the ink on the page to create all sorts of monstrosities and horrors from beyond the grave.

The were smaller books, with like a hard Styrofoams like cover to them. Compact enough so you could put them in your back pocket and carry them around.
