Brian Lumley, a Grand Master of Horror and author of the popular
Necroscope(R) series, opens the collection with the tense "A Place
of Waiting." The moors of Devon, England, are home to many ghosts,
but none as fearsome as the red-eyed specter that refuses to accept
his death. His only chance of release, however, comes at a terrible
cost.
Orson Scott Card puts a new spin on one of literature's most famous
ghosts in "Hamlet's Father." What if the former King of Denmark was
not killed by his treacherous brother for his crown, but by someone
entirely unexpected as punishment for the darkest of crimes? Would
his troubled son still seek revenge?
The patrons of an Edinburgh tavern are introduced to a beverage
with an unusual history in "The Haunted Single Malt" by Marvin
Kaye, a clever and spooky tale about ghost stories and the people
who love them.
Tanith Lee offers "Strindberg's Ghost Sonata," a chilling story set
in an alternate Russia. When a poor man is rescued from certain
death by hospitable strangers, he discovers that he is not a guest
in their haunted tenement building--he is a prisoner destined to
become a sacrifice.
