Story:
Short, but that's the point of it being folk-tales. "Did you hear about that ghost in X? Yeah, I hear he does Y." That's what you get, and it's all that's needed to be spooky. This isn't terrifying, but it can be creepy and reminds you that it's always possible there's something else nearby that disrupts the status quo.
Chapters are divided into sections that follow a theme, be it 'sinister double-takes' in which you think you saw something, and you know you shouldn't look again but that itch needs to be satisfied. It's basic, simple, and for the time it takes to read, it's worthwhile.
Art:

average stuff, but the settings look pretty great. The world feels lively despite the shortness of each anecdote, and the lack of characterization. Where there's no girth to individual people, there's a lot of substance in the art.
There isn't anything especially spectacular about the art, and I felt some of the monsters/ghosts/ghouls looked a little too similar, but it's nothing to take anyone's attention away.
Character:
There's virtually no characterization in this work. Just enough is written to understand the littlest amount of detail to stay in theme with the current chapter division, but outside of that, nothing.
Enjoyment:
Spooked, but not by much. It's fun, and that's about all it needs to be. I was wowed or feel the need to share it with friends, but thanks to how fast it can be read I don't feel cheated.
