The Big Book of Ghost Stories

A spirited Black Lizard anthology with over a thousand pages of hauntedâ€”and hauntingâ€”ghost tales. Includes eerie vintage ghost illustrations.Â

The ghost story is perhaps the oldest of all the supernatural literary genres and has captured the imagination of almost every writer to put pen to the page. Here, Edgar Award-winning editor Otto Penzler has followed his keen sense of the supernatural to collect the most chilling and uncanny tales in the canon. These spectral stories span more than a hundred years, from modern-day horrors by Joyce Carol Oates, Chet Williamson and Andrew Klavan, to pulp yarns from August Derleth, Greye La Spina, and M. L. Humphreys, to the atmospheric Victorian tales of Rudyard Kipling, Edith Wharton, and H. P. Lovecraft, notÂ to mention modern works by the likes of Donald E. Westlake and Isaac Asimov that are already classics. Some of these stories have haunted the canon forÂ a century, while others are making their first ghoulish appearanceÂ in book form.Â Whether you prefer possessive poltergeists, awful apparitions, or friendly phantoms, these stories are guaranteed to thrill you, tingle the spine, or tickle the funny bone, and keep you turning the pages with fearful delight.

Including such classics as â€œThe Monkeyâ€™s Pawâ€ and â€œThe Open Windowâ€ andÂ eerie vintage illustrations, and also featuringÂ haunted mansions,Â midnight frights,Â lovers from beyond the grave,Â rapping, tapping, wailing shades,Â and ghosts, ghouls, and specters galore!
