Product Description

Bon apparition!

Home of the Pilgrims, birthplace of Thanksgiving, pointman for te American revolution, New England has been fertile ground for hundreds of ghost stories. Its weather-beaten mountains, covered bridges, isolated lighthouses, lonely locales, and rocky coastlines are ideal settings for flights of the imagination. Or perhaps ghosts are not merely a matter of the imagination.

Draw your own conclusions as you feast on the hearty collection of New England ghost stories.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great short stories, Dec 28 1999
This review is from: New England Ghosts (Paperback)
I was really looking for a book on real accounts of ghosts in New England. I used to have a book like that, but loaned it to an ex-friend.

I really did however enjoy reading this particular book, even though it was not exactly what I was looking for.

I would recommend this book to anyone that like to read ghost stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very nice ghost-fiction anthology, although I agree..., Mar 2 2006
By GoryDetails "gorydetails" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: New England Ghosts (Paperback)
...that the book's appearance is misleading - it does look as though it's meant to contain true ghost stories. [Since I prefer good fiction to the usual so-so "true" accounts I was delighted with this book, but can see how some readers would be disappointed!]

The stories are all set in New England and include some great ones, from Benet's "The Devil and Daniel Webster" to Lovecraft's "Herbert West: Reanimator" (though that one technically isn't a ghost story at all!). Of the stories I hadn't read before, Bacon's "The Little Silver Heart" intrigued me - a mystery/ghost-story/nightmare. There's an offbeat Joyce Carol Oates story, and a charming old favorite by August Derleth ("The Dark Boy"), and more; a very nice anthology indeed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Misleading, Feb 2 2006
By Frank Goulart III - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: New England Ghosts (Paperback)
This is a good book but I believe that the title is misleading. I think that people who buy this book are looking for real ghost stories and these are short stories in the genre of Stephen King.
