Genre: Ghost stories

Grade: C

Reason for reading: library book

Type: paperback

Blurb (from Amazon): "This spine-chilling new anthology of 20th and 21st century tales by big name writers is in the best traditions of literary ghost stories. It is just a little over a hundred years ago that the most famous literary ghost story, The Turn of the Screw by Henry James, was published and in the intervening years a great many other distinguished writers have tried their hand at this popular genre - some basing their fictional tales on real supernatural experiences of their own."

Opinion: As with every collection of short stories, there are some really good ones...and then some not so good. These were, for the most part, decent.
