5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite book of ghost stories, June 17, 2002

By A Customer

I have had this book for 20 years, and I always go back to it to read my favorite stories. This is a collection of old, classic, better known stories and more modern ones you might not have heard of before. There is a section on ghost hunting, and a list by state of the "most haunted" houses. A nice collection of spooky stuff if you like ghost stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Ghost Stories Books I've Ever Read, October 15, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Ghosts: A Treasury of Chilling Tales Old and New (Leather Bound)

I am a big fan of ghost stories, so when I saw this book in the local bookstore I was immediatley attracted to it. I got the book for Christmas and started reading it immediatley. It has a lot of ghost stories in it that are scary, creepy, and funny. This book will leave you scared with delight. So if you know someone of any age who loves ghost stories, this would be one of the best ghost story books you could get for them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent ghostly fun!, April 18, 2008

This review is from: Ghosts: A Treasury of Chilling Tales Old and New (Leather Bound)

What a delightful anthology of ghostly tales! I was especially impressed with the embossed leather binding of this edition (mine is black and gold with a ghost and tombstone on the front and spine!), gilded pages, and the sewn in ribbon bookmark. Each story has an introduction regarding the author and interesting thoughts about the story. It's a treat to savor each offering, whether during seemingly calm daylight hours or a stormy dark night by candlelight!

This certainly is a most worthwhile addition to anyone's library. In fact, by the time I got to the fourth story, SMEE by A. M. Burrage, I promptly ordered a second copy for my brother! It's an excellent volume to own. You won't be disappointed. Ghosts: A Treasury of Chilling Tales Old and New (Contemporary Bonded Leather Fibers Series)
