100 Ghastly Ghost Stories — Stefan R. Dziemianowicz

Be warned -- not only good things, but sometimes fear comes in small packages; or in this case, short packages.Although much contemporary fiction dealing with ghosts runs to novel length, the short ghost story continues to entertain readers around the world. In fact, one of the attractions of the short ghost story is that it uses a minimum of elements to captivate it readers, and, because of its length, evokes a powerful response before the tenuous air of suspense has a chance to dissipate. Proof of the ability of the ghost story to entertain readers can be found in 100 Ghastly Ghost Stories which brings together a century and a half of ghost stories by the masters of the genre.As you editor reminds you, fear comes in all shapes and sizes, and although these ghosts are small, hey will loom large in your memory.
