Shivers and smiles — Ms. Scarborough chose stories intended to give both reactions to aficionados of spooky tales. Some titles, such as “The Specter Bridegroom” and “The Canterville Ghost”, will be familiar to many readers. Others are less common, and may give you a nice surprise. Her introduction amusingly discusses how ghost stories changed since the far-back dark times of yore, and is well worth a read. So dive in, and prepare to be
hilariously haunted.
