Is Ghost Stories cool?

I want to know more about the new game Ghost Stories. It appears that Marty is hosting it at OwlCon in Feb. 2009. Anyone have experience with this game? Is it similiar to Arkham Horror or Runebound in that you play against the system? I was sort of disappointed with Avalon Hill's Betrayal at the House on the Hill.

It's very cool, but frustratingly hard. The art is great. I 'feel' the dark theme somewhat more in other games like Arkham though.

considering that I'm running it...I have experience.

I like it; it is my favorite cooperative game at the moment.

I think it gets across the feel of a Chinese kung-fu / ghost movie pretty well.

Chinese and Kung Fu, definitively. It's 'silly' dark, not 'serious dark' like Arkham.
