Ghost stories became very popular in the first half of the
nineteenth century and this collection by Andrew Barger contains
the very scariest of them all. Some stories thought too horrific
were published anonymously like "A Night in a Haunted House" and
"The Deaf and Dumb Girl." The later story is collected for the
first time in any anthology since its original publication in 1839.
The other ghost stories in this fine collection are by famous
authors. "The Mask of the Red Death," by Edgar Allan Poe; "A
Chapter in the History of a Tyrone Family," by Joseph Sheridan le
Fanu; "The Spectral Ship," by Wilhelm Hauff; "The Old Maid in the
Winding Sheet," by Nathaniel Hawthorne; "The Adventure of the
German Student," and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," by Washington
Irving; as well as "The Tapestried Chamber," by Sir Walter Scott.
As he has done with a number of other books, Andrew Barger has
added his scholarly touch to this collection by including story
backgrounds, annotations, author photos and a foreword titled "All
Ghosts Are Gray." Buy the book today and be ready to be scared.
