American Ghost Stories

by Brett Riley Foreword

Ghosts stories in America emerged from the stately gothic ghost tale, but quickly the fears brought on by the wild and vast landscape and burgeoning new culture transformed them into something altogether different. American Ghost Stories is a thrilling collection of spine-tingling good fun. Featuring authors such as Edgar Allan Poe ('The Masque of the Red Death'), Edith Wharton ('Afterward'), Mark Twain ('A Ghost Story'), Harriet Beecher Stowe ('The Ghost in the Mill'), O. Henry ('A Ghost of a Chance'), and H.P. Lovecraft ('The Outsider'), you'll have enough fuel for all kinds of nightmares.
