Review; The Last Séance: Tales of the Supernatural by Agatha Christie

Happy Halloween/Samhain everyone. As it is finally Halloween, I figured out I would post a review of the short story collection The Last Séance: Tales of the Supernatural by Agatha Christie, which I read earlier this month.

Description from Goodreads
From the Queen of Suspense, an all-new collection of her spookiest and most sinister stories, including an Agatha Christie story never before published in the USA, The Wife of Kenite!

For lovers of the supernatural and the macabre comes this collection of ghostly and chilling stories from legendary mystery writer Agatha Christie. Fantastic psychic visions, specters looming in the shadows, encounters with deities, a man who switches bodies with a cat—be sure to keep the light on whilst reading these tales.

The Last Séance gathers twenty stories, some featuring Christie’s beloved detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple, in one haunting compendium that explores all things occult and paranormal, and is an essential omnibus for Christie fans.

My Thoughts on the Book
As Agatha Christie is Agatha Christie, this short story collection is of course worth the read. While some of the short stories have a paranormal element to it, others only appear to have it at first glance before you start digging a little bit. Some of the stories I liked the best is those featuring a certain Belgian detective named Hercule Poirot, but there's other short stories that's totally worth the read too.

The Last Séance is a book that regardless of whether you enjoy classic mysteries Agatha Christie-style, or something with a slight paranormal flair, you might find something you like. Somehow, I also suspect dear Hercule Poirot would appreciate debunking of the paranormal.
