The Haunters & the Haunted: Ghost Stories and Tales of the Supernatural

Some stories refuse to stay buried. This anthology gathers the genre's most unsettling voices, from Edgar Allan Poe's trembling halls of the House of Usher to lesser-known terrors that have slumbered in folklore for centuries. These aren't mere tales of specters and shrieks. They are investigations into grief that won't release its grip, guilt that takes physical form, and the terrible persistence of what we cannot let go. The line between the haunted and the haunter blurs until you cannot say which is worse: the ghost that haunts the house, or the house that haunts the soul. Edited for readers who understand that the most effective horror doesn't rely on gore but on the slow, cold realization that something is deeply wrong in a world that looks perfectly ordinary.
