Customer Reviews
The best English ghost story anthology in print. - Rated Lest five stars seem excessive for yet another "ghost book", I must say that I think that Cox and Gilbert have produced simply the best one-volume anthology of English-language ghost stories that there has ever been. For all that supernatural fictions have long been popular choices for the anthologist, this collection features more of the best and most enduring English ghost stories than have ever before appeared between two covers. Cox and Gilbert have included virtually all of the necessary favourites and many lesser-known gems as well. All of the major authors in the field are represented by some of their very best work and all the major movements within the English ghost-story are represented as well. For all that I could quibble about one or two inclusions and omissions, I honestly don't think that a better introduction to the English ghost story exists. Unreservedly recommended.
