Arcturus Retro Classics

This handsome anthology brings together 60 of the greatest ghost stories ever written, presented in a jacketed hardback with beautifully gothic endpaper illustrations.

Featuring silent spectres, petrifying phantoms and all manner of ghastly ghosts, these tales will terrify and entertain in equal measure. Whether the apparitions are discovered by intrepid adventurers, solemn priests or mild-mannered academics, the haunted must reconsider their most basic assumptions and work out how best to respond to these supernatural assaults.

A Ghost by Guy de Maupassant
The Red Room by H. G. Wells
The Signalman by Charles Dickens
The Room in the Tower by E.F. Benson
The Whistling Room by William Hope Hodgson
The Stalls of Barchester Cathedral by M.R. James
