Very few things are more frightening than unearthly creatures conceived by the masterminds of supernatural fiction. This collection of the macabre renders a large scope of such creatures, from the mythical beast in F. Murray Gilchrist's "The Basilisk," to the horrifying Shape in the Japanese legend Lafacadio Hearn translates as "jikininki," as well as the preternatural horse in Edgar Allan Poe's "Metzengerstein," and the ominous entries in E.F. Benson's "Caterpillars." This volume will take you from the invisible visitors in Hugh B. Cave's "Take Me, for Instance," to a child 's imagination taking on a life of it's own in Robert Weinberg's "Night Shapes."

Fourteen terrifying ghost stories chosen by the master of the macabre, Roald Dahl. 'Spookiness is the real purpose of the ghost story. It should give you the creeps and disturb your thoughts . . .'

Here are fourteen of his favourite ghost stories, including Sheridan Le Fanu's The Ghost of a Hand, Edith Wharton's Afterward, Cynthia Asquith's The Corner Shop and Mary Treadgold's The Telephone. Roald Dahl, the brilliant and worldwide acclaimed author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, and many more classics for children, also wrote scores of short stories for adults. These delightfully disturbing tales have often been filmed and were most recently the inspiration for the West End play, Roald Dahl's Twisted Tales by Jeremy Dyson.

" West Virginia boasts an unusually rich heritage of ghost tales. Originally West Virginians told these hundred stories not for idle amusement but to report supernatural experiences that defied ordinary human explanation. From jealous rivals and ghostly children to murdered kinsmen and omens of death, these tales reflect the inner lives—the hopes, beliefs, and fears—of a people. Like all folklore, these tales reveal much of the history of the region: its isolation and violence, the passions and bloodshed of the Civil War era, the hardships of miners and railroad laborers, and the lingering vitality of Old World traditions.
