70 Forgotten Ghost Stories - Haunting Tales Lost to Time


There are many ghost stories that are familiar to us. Those from Edgar Allan Poe, Shirley Jackson, Lovecraft and King. But there are many more that are forgotten and lost to history. In a world where we now have Creepypastas and 2 sentence horror stories, it is often satisfying to reach back into the past...to the golden age of horror of the Victorian and early Edwardian era, back to our deeply buried roots. That is what this book hopes to accomplish. Light a candle, settle down in your chair, and wipe away the cobwebs to uncover some ghastly unearthed forgotten stories collected here in one volume.
