Ghosts galore. Ghosts in the form of red- and yellow-eyed dogs, white cats, lonely children. Ghosts who reveal themselves in smells or in other people. They are the sort that thrill everyone, believers and skeptics alike.

And these are the ghosts that Seon Manley and Gogo Lewis have selected from the works of master storytellers. Bram Stoker's growing gold will haunt you; Mary Wilkins Freeman's lost ghost will captivate you. You will be intrigued by O. Henry's furnished room and astounded by Ray Bradbury's sand- castle.

Here, presented chronologically, are tales by sixteen well-known and respected authors. From "Classic Chillers" of Dickens' time through "Twentieth-Century Touch of Ter- ror," these stories represent the best of their respective eras. It is a selection not to be missed.
