4.0 out of 5 stars Not just for kids..., Aug 17 2001
By A Reader (FL, USA) - See all my reviews
I first discovered the Alfred Hitchcock anthologies when I was in about fourth grade. Recently I found _Ghostly Galleries_ and _Haunted Houseful_ in a bookstore, and snapped them up for my kids to read when they get older. Of course, I had to read them again for the sake of nostalgia, and I found that I still enjoyed the stories as much as when I was 10. The collections feature some of the greatest names in fiction writing. _Ghostly Galleries_ has stories by H.G. Wells ("The Truth About Pycraft"), Robert Louis Stevenson ("The Isle of Voices"), Algernon Blackwood ("The Valley of the Beasts"), F. Marion Crawford ("The Upper Berth") and Lord Dunsany ("In a Dim Room"). Less well known, but a personal favorite of mine, is Robert Arthur ("The Haunted Trailer," "The Wonderful Day" and "Obstinate Uncle Otis"). He also helped edit the book, and was responsible for those great "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" anthologies, like _Stories My Mother Never Told Me_. If you're considering this book for your kids, most of the stories have a very mild 'spook' factor, and some are more humorous than scary, like "Miss Emmeline Takes Off" by Walter Brooks. "The Upper Berth" is probably the spookiest, but a ten year-old should be able to handle it. I did. If you're considering the book for yourself, rest assured that the stories are classics in the genre of pulp fiction, that is, stories from the old Weird Tales type publications that mixed horror, mystery, sci-fi and humor. There's more emphasis on humor than horror, but you should find the reading enjoyable.

5.0 out of 5 stars For The Person With Supernatural Wonders, Jan 10 2001
By Snarky (Hancock, Mi U.S.A) - See all my reviews
Could a heavy looking man actually be lighter than air? Stories like these and more can be located in Alfred Hitchcock's "Ghostly Gallery".Alfred Hitchcock is the mastermind behind these spooky stories including:"The Waxman", "The Haunted Trailer" and "In The Jungle"."What should I do about my lightness" said the George Healy is a quote from my favorite story "Heavy Man Healy".Have you ever done something you've regretted? Or have a feeling that you're being watched?If you like these types of stories,try this book.I recommend this book for for people, kids and adults because of his stories with frightening things that happen with strange endings and who loved his classic movies. "Ghostly Gallery" can be found at a library or bookstore near you
