The Big Book of Ghost Stories by Otto Penzler
dark
mysterious
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
4.0

* The Shadowy Third by Ellen Glasgow
* Brickett Bottom by Amyas Northcote
* Harry by Rosemary Timperley
* The Lost Boy of the Ozarks by Steve Friedman
* Legal Rites by Isaac Asimov and James MacCreigh
* The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde
* The Night Wire by H.F. Arnold
* The School for the Unspeakable by Manly Wade Wellman
* He Walked by Day by Julius Long
* Conventry Carol by Chet Williamson
* The Shadowy Third by Ellen Glasgow
