Masters of shades and shadows

About this book

> Ghosts galore. Ghosts in the form of red- and yellow-eyed dogs, white cats, lonely children. Ghosts who reveal themselves in smells or in other people. They are the sort that thrill everyone, believers and skeptics alike. >And these are the ghosts that Seon Manley and Gogo Lewis have selected from the works of master storytellers. Bram Stoker's growing gold will haunt you; Mary Wilkins Freeman's lost ghost will captivate you. You will be intrigued by O. Henry's furnished room and astounded by Ray Bradbury's sand- castle. >Here, presented chronologically, are tales by sixteen well-known and respected authors. From "Classic Chillers" of Dickens' time through "Twentieth-Century Touch of Ter- ror," these stories represent the best of their respective eras. It is a selection not to be missed.
