The New Young Oxford Book of Ghost Stories

Following in the tracks of the bestselling The Young Oxford Book of Ghost Stories and The Young Oxford Book of Nasty Endings, this is another thrilling collection of stories guaranteed to enthrall both children and adults. The 26 tales are drawn primarily from the early twentieth century, when the ghost story tradition was at its prime, but the book also includes contributions from contemporary authors who develop and extend the genre. Short stories by the likes of Shamus Frazer and Shirley Jackson are complemented with original contributions from such authors as Francis Beckett and Dennis Hamley, specially commissioned for this edition.
