Ghostly Reads

I love a good ghost story, especially if it takes place in a haunted house. So I thought I'd share a few of my favorite tales of ghostly suspense. (And if you know of another good one that you think I should read, please let me know.)

Any Simone St. James' Book -- (for that perfect
combination of mystery & suspense, ghosts & romance):

Silence For the Dead
The Other Side of Midnight
Lost Among the Living
The Haunting of Maddy Clare





Quiet Suspense at its Best:

The Dead of Winter by Chris Priestly
The Woman in Black by Susan Hill
The Poisoned House by Michael Ford

For Fans of Buffy:

School Spirits by Rachel Hawkins





This House is Haunted!

The Silence by Sarah Rayne
The Fate of Mercy Alban by Wendy Webb
Amber House by Kelly Moore
The Silence of Ghosts by Jonathan Aycliffe
The Vanishing by Wendy Webb
The House That Death Built by John L. Probert
Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper by J. L. Bryan

  1. Wondered if you might be interested in us sending you an advance review copy of our forthcoming "The Corona Book of Ghost Stories" (pub date 1st October 2019) - we think the time is right for a great modern anthology of new ghost stories, which we believe this book is. Please email me if of interest or for more details: lewis@coronabooks.com
    Sorry to contact you via a comment here, but I couldn't find any other way to do so. Many thanks, Lewis, Lewis Williams of www.coronabooks.com
