Ghost Horror

This book contains four interesting and thrilling ghost stories. These stories are entirely fictional. All ghosts are imaginary, and the human characters and incidents are also fictional, so children and adults can equally enjoy these stories. I hope you like this small book.

Montague Rhodes James (Goodnestone, 1 de agosto de 1862 - Eton, 12 de junio de 1936), anticuario, medievalista y escritor británico de cuentos de terror.

James, optaron por brindarle una educación acorde con sus preferencias y lo enviaron al prestigioso Eton College. Continuó sus estudios en la ciudad de Cambridge, en el King's College, otro colegio al cual sólo unos pocos tenían acceso.

In the first of two short horror stories, “Warface”, urban legend has it that eons ago Samuel Ketchum killed and tortured countless Indians on remote Indian Island. Not even women and children were spared. Years later, tales of bizarre disappearance and drowning surfaced. Locals tell of a tribal witch doctor Ketchum burned alive on that very island and speculate he now roams the land seeking vengeance for his death by collecting innocent souls for eternity.

Three pill heads living in the same halfway house all suffer from the same nightmare. They each dream of a man hacking up his family with an ax. Their counselor is all too willing to chalk up the dreams to their collective drug withdrawal. But as their rehab draws to a close, the addicts realize that the house they are living in could be truly haunted after all.

Six short stories appear in this second addition to the Fear series.

Several boys had an adventure at night in an apple garden across the river. This true story presents their terrible haunted experience.

A woman tells her story of an encounter with a ghost in a deserted old lodging house in the middle of London years ago. She was told that a woman had been murdered there before she agreed as a "psychical researcher" to spend a night in the old building. Her expectations are challenged in this psychological ghost story. Algernon Blackwood wrote over 200 ghost stories as well as being a novelist, playwright, and a writer of nonfiction and children’s stories. His ghost stories fall into what is usually called weird fiction.
