5.0 out of 5 stars THE classic book of American ghost stories!, April 26, 2000

This review is from: Great Ghost Stories (Watermill Classics) (Paperback)

Forget your Steven King and other modern pretenders- this classic collection has stories that have frightened readers for over 100 years. More than a few modern writers have stolen ideas from this volume.

There's "August Heat"- a man happens on a stranger carving a tombstone with his name on it. In Ambrose Bierce's "An Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge" a man being hanged makes a last minute escape- or so it seems. "The Monkey's Paw" grants wishes- but at a price.

Buy it. Invite a few friends over for an evening of candlelight ghost story readings. You'll thank me later.
