Product Description
From Library Journal
This follow-up to Ghost Movies I (Severn House, 1996) presents a diverse array of ten sometimes classic English and American tales offering mystery, suspense, the supernatural, the fantastic, and the grotesque from Dean Koontz, M.R. James, Algernon Blackwood, and others. A history of each tale's adaptations in various media prefaces the stories. Algernon Blackwood's "The Listener" explores the protagonist's fear of going mad and his dark, sinister dwelling as the setting for the supernatural and grotesque. Used in Tales from the Darkside, George R. Romero's "Clay" plays upon the distance between a clergyman and his flock by showing the horrors beneath the faithful demeanor of one parishioner. As Bennett Cerf's "Room for One More" suggests, these stories are for telling and are recommended.?Michelle Foyt, Berlin-Peck Memorial Lib., Kensington, Conn.
