About this listen

"This collection of ghost stories is fresh, varied, and entertaining. Perfect company for long a winter's night." (Owen King, coauthor with Stephen King of the New York Times number one best seller Sleeping Beauties)

Twenty-six brand-new tales of ghosts, spirits, and the afterlife to chill even the most hardened listener to their very marrow. Grandmasters and newcomers alike serve well to petrify with stories to keep you lying awake in the dead of night - long after the last of the light has died - listening for that telltale scratching at the door, a soft whisper of disembodied voices, and the icy caress of long-dead fingers upon your ankle....

The Horror Zine’s Book of Ghost Stories is delighted to present to you original, never-before-seen, spine-tingling tales from Bentley Little, Joe R. Lansdale, Elizabeth Massie, Graham Masterton with Dawn G. Harris, Tim Waggoner, and the very best up-and-coming writers in the genre. Includes a foreword by Lisa Morton.

I'm a big fan of Bentley Little and these short stories never fail to satisfy my appetite for the horror tails with a twist!!

The stories are good don’t get me wring. they’re not especially well written at least, not all of them but they’re good. The problem is, they’re not really ghost stories. yes they all contain ghosts but really they’re horror stories that contain ghosts as opposed to say, the woman in black which is a ghost story that creates fear. The ghost intimidates by its presence rather than doing any real harm and the sounds of a child’s screams as it dies in the marshes creates chills. Even right at th end it’s the pony that causes the death as it is spooked by the ghost of the woman in black. In this collection the ‘ghosts’ lay hands on their victims thus turning the stories in to horror rather than pure ghost stories. I’m not sure I agree with the verdict of the introduction either which suggests we fear failure and therefore are attached to ghost stories which, in themselves are about failure. I think our fixation with the ghost story is much more primal than that. I think it stems from something far older than the fear of failure such as our fear of the unknown and the dark but that’s just my opinion. As I said, the stories are good but they’re really horror stories not true ghost stories.

there’s a bit of confusion here I think
