Product Description
Product Description
With twenty-four more chilling tales culled from the Fontana Book of Great Ghost Stories series, edited from 1972 to 1984 by acclaimed horror fiction writer and anthologist R. Chetwynd-Hayes, this follow-up to 2004's Great Ghost Stories features rarities and classics from the masters of the ghost story like O. Henry, J. Sheridan Le Fanu, M. R. James, and Guy de Maupassant, as well as haunting stories from lesser-known greats. From a dead man emerging from a hole in the cabin floor in Ambrose Bierce's "The Night-Doings at 'Deadman's'" and Mrs. Crowe's tale of supernatural experiences in polite Victorian society, to Richard Burton's "authentic" account of a haunting in the Castle of Weixelstein in 1559 to Emily Bronte's poem "The Horrors of Sleep" about a mystic world that exists just beyond the frontiers of ours, this collection resurrects two dozen eerie tales of suspense and horror.

Not as good as the previous collection, 12 Dec 2007
By Cullen W. Monk "CM" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tales to Freeze the Blood: More Great Ghost Stories (Paperback)
I bought this book because I loved the first collection on Ghost Stories done by Chetwynd Hayes.
This one is about half as thick and many of the stories are just not as good in my opinion.
Still, if you like horror short stories, this isn't a bad buy.

Horrible, 13 May 2010
By Jennifer "MrsBookey" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tales to Freeze the Blood: More Great Ghost Stories (Paperback)
I bought this book thinking the stories would be intriguing and captivating; like most ghost stories are. This book made me almost fall asleep. If it's not the ending of each story that makes you want to scream out loud, it's the boring plot and zero climax. Luckily I got this book in the clearance section at a book outlet.
