Description:
As this expertly edited anthology shows, the genre of the ghost story attracts an unusual number of first-rate "realistic" fiction writers. What occasional ghost story writer Henry James called "the terror of the unusual, " instead of bogeymen from around the campfire, haunts the outstanding stories collected here.
