Short Ghost and Horror Collection 050

What makes a ghost story linger long after the lights come back on? These twenty tales understand that true horror lives in suggestion, in the thing half-seen, in the question that never quite gets answered. From Victorian spectral encounters to American gothic freakshows, from the haunted house to the haunted mind, this collection spans decades of writers who knew exactly how to make your skin crawl. You'll encounter phantoms wronged in life, creatures that blur the line between man and beast, and horrors that exist entirely in the space between sanity and paranoia. Some stories whisper. Others shriek. All of them deliver that rare pleasure of being thoroughly, deliberately frightened by people who understood the craft. For readers who know that the best horror doesn't show you everything.
