Overview
This handsome anthology brings together 60 of the greatest ghost stories ever written, presented in a jacketed hardback with beautifully gothic endpaper illustrations.
Featuring silent spectres, petrifying phantoms and all manner of ghastly ghosts, these tales will terrify and entertain in equal measure. Whether the apparitions are discovered by intrepid adventurers, solemn priests or mild-mannered academics, the haunted must reconsider their most basic assumptions and work out how best to respond to these supernatural assaults.
Tales include:
• A Ghost by Guy de Maupassant
• The Red Room by H. G. Wells
• The Signalman by Charles Dickens
• The Room in the Tower by E.F. Benson
• The Whistling Room by William Hope Hodgson
• The Stalls of Barchester Cathedral by M.R. James
• Strange Event in the Life of Schalken the Painter by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu
These uncanny tales will haunt you long after the book is closed...
