Tales from the Dead of Night: Thirteen Classic Ghost Stories
Tales from the Dead of Night: Thirteen Classic Ghost Stories | Various
5 posts | 4 read | 11 to read
From a beautiful antique that gives its owner a show he'd rather forget, to 'ghost detective' whose exorcism goes horribly wrong and a sinister masked ball which seems to have one too many guests, these ghost stories of supernatural terror are guaranteed to make you shiver, thrill and look under the bed tonight. From rural England to colonial India, in murky haunted mansions and under modern electric lighting, these master storytellers - some of the best writers in the English language - unfold spinetinglers which pull back the veil of everyday life to reveal the nightmares which lurk just out of sight. They are lessons in ingenuity and surprise, sometimes building slowly to a chilling climax, sometimes springing horror on you from the utterly banal. And as you'd expect from these writers, the stories are more than simply frightening - they're also disquieting exposures of mortality, loneliness and the human capacity for both evil and remorse. We wish you pleasant dreams. Contains ghost stories by: Ruth Rendell, M. R. James, Rudyard Kipling, Edith Wharton, E. F. Benson, E. Nesbit, Saki, W. W. Jacobs, W. F. Harvey, Hugh Walpole, Chico Kidd and LP Hartley.

I‘m something of a broken record when it comes to my favourite genre, but I can‘t stress enough how much I love a good ghost story. This is a fantastic read, featuring the works of E F Benson, Edith Wharton & M R James to name a few. These are classic ghost stories by masters of the genre, haunting & creepy. ‘The Phantom Rickshaw‘ by Rudyard Kipling is probably my favourite out of this collection but it‘s hard to choose when they‘re all so good!

DrexEdit It's a bit weird to have the fall color and falling leaves and near 90 degree temps! Who wants to rake leaves when it's hot out!? 😄 7y
CocoReads Same crazy temps happening here in IN as well. 😬 7y

I've been so slow at reading AND participating in photo challenges lately, but I can't miss out on the #booktober/#octoberphotochallenge, so here's my #mostanticipatedreads to get in the Halloween/autumn spirit! My first goal is to FINISH KING'S IT THIS MONTH 💪 I can do this! And on the Kindle is Steve Himmer's Scratch 💕📚🍂🍁🎃💀👻 #Octoberreads #OctoberTBR #TBR

WordWaller @Thekelburrows I've had it for so long and I'm soooo excited! 8y
Zelma Nice stack! I just picked up The Woman in Cabin 10 from the library. I wanted a thriller that wasn't gory. 8y

BekahB Takes from the Dead of Night looks great! I'm excited to read Scratch too! I think I might get the paperback version when it's released on the 11th. 8y
Librariana Are we Stephen King twinsies?? 😊 I am also reading IT by Mr. King and am hoping to have it finished either today or tomorrow! 😄 I started August 23rd 😔 (add a blush of slight shame to this last emoji) 8y
WordWaller @Zelma nice! I've heard great things about it and lately have been yearning for a thriller after reading so much nonfiction! Hope you love it! 8y
WordWaller @BekahB tales from the Dead of Night is such a pretty cover I couldn't resist. And yay for Scratch! I'm hoping I can get some good uninterrupted time in it tonight. 8y
WordWaller @librariana we are! But I started it much too long ago, in May! I've been ashamedly distracted from it by so many other books, but it's been a great lead up to October! You're probably so far ahead o me; I still have 400 pages! 😱😳 8y

This was fun just-before-bed reading. Classic ghost stories from classic storytellers that even the faintest of heart could tiptoe their way through. The awesome cover sold me on checking this out and I walked away from the read pleasantly surprised and just a bit spooked.
