Good beginner novel choice

The structure of this book includes short stories that are being read by the protagonist, as well as an overarching plot that connects the stories. So it's not a pure short story collection where they are unrelated.

I felt that the structure of the book made it a good choice for beginners, as each story is bite-sized (5-10 pages), but there is still some interest to keep reading because of the overall plot. The stories varied in quality; I found some to be a bit repetitive, while others were more creative. Overall I enjoyed myself enough to keep reading so I think it's a good choice for a first novel if you like (lightly) scary stories.
