Product Description
Who better to investigate the literary spirit world that the supreme connoisseur of the unexpected, Roald Dahl? His own short stories have teased and twisted imaginations in their millions, but amongst the many permutations of the macabre, Dahl has always felt a special fascination for the classic ghost story. In this book of ghost stories he has selected fourteen of his favourites for this superbly disquieting volume.

Format:Perfect Paperback
I read this when I was a teenager travelling through Africa. I had to cover the front image because alongside the stories it scared me to much. Yet these stories drew you in, scarier than any film I've seen yet far more intriging aswell. It's incomparible to any book I've read since. It's in a genre of it's own. Each is an individual master piece, they're beautiful, elequent and twist and turn in the most unexpected ways.

Format:Perfect Paperback
worth a read if you, like me, are hooked on ghost stories. This is quite an eclectical collection of stories, all of them well written, but none of them are likely to spook you.

Format:Perfect Paperback
From the front cover its easy to belive that the contents of the book may contain ghost stories written by RD. Instead its gost stories selected by RD. They are good stories, but still feel that we have been duped.
