Horror Various Authors: Hauntings (anthol). v1. 20 Dec. 2025

[GrannyGrump]

… as the twilight deeper glooms,
Strange shapes flit through lonely rooms,
And wordless whisp'rings rise and fill
The old, old house upon the hill.

—Frances A. Schneider,
The Haunted House

Here is an extensive collection of ghostly tales, brought to you in two volumes.

================
Volume I presents ten novels and a novella. Some of these are considered to be quintessential “haunted house” stories, but several are less ubiquitous, and may be new to you. Read on, if you dare, while J. S. Le Fanu, Henry James, Charlotte Riddell, William Hope Hodgson, H. P. Lovecraft, and other outstanding storytellers weave their spooky spells.

================
Volume II presents 110 short works: short stories, novellas, and poems; including a small faction intended to tickle rather than terrorize. Also, several non-fiction pieces discuss theories about the truth of ghosts and hauntings.
(Includes Index of Titles, and Index of Authors)

================
So turn down the lights, slip on a warm sweater to ward off the chills, and immerse yourself in the mystique of The Haunted House.
