Book Description
The first major collection of new and classic haunted-house tales by masters of the form. Vengeful ghosts and kind ones, violent poltergeists and innocent shades, phantasmal victims and evil specters with intentions ranging from the horrific to the erotic - spirits of every sort haunt the houses in this anthology of tales by such distinguished writers as Joan Aiken, Robert Bloch, Ramsey Campbell, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, L. P. Hartley, James Herbert, M. R. James, Ruth Rendell, Hugh Walpole, and Fay Weldon. As the ghosts in these masterfully haunting tales invade residences as grand as country mansions or as disconcertingly familiar as a city apartment, they also very craftily seduce - and chill - the reader's soul.
