Spectral Hauntings Galore, October 4, 2001
This review is from: Half in Shadow (Hardcover)
I have read several Arkham House books, but this one remains closest to my heart.
Councelman's stories withstand the test of time, and are as moody and haunting today as they were in the early years of the last century. A delightfuly macabre choice of tales, with no disappointing filler-type stories that are found in so many collections of the supernatural.
This collection includes the classic "The Three Marked Pennies," as well as "The Unwanted," "The Shot-Tower Ghost," "Night Court," "The Monkey Spoons," "The Smiling Face," "A Death Crown for Mr. Hapworthy," "The Black Stone Statue," "Seventh Sister," "Parasite Mansion," "The Green Window," "The Tree's Wife," "Twister," and "A Handful of Silver."
Currently the book is still in print, so there is no need to buy a supposedly "collectible" edition.
