For as long as people have told stories, they have been fascinated by ghosts, spectres, ghouls and demons. In this inspired collection, Richard Dalby brings together over forty of the greatest ghost stories ever written.

From classic authors of the nineteenth century including Wilkie Collins, Charles Dickens and Arthur Conan Doyle, to the more recent stars of modern ghost fiction such as Ramsey Campbell, Robert Aickman and Basil Copper, this is the ultimate collection of macabre masterpieces.

Ranging from gothic graveyards to spine-tingling scenes from the modern age, these supernatural tales are guaranteed to chill the bones.
