Product Description:
Imogene is young, beautiful . . . and dead, waiting in the Rosebud Theater one afternoon in 1945. . . .
Francis was human once, but now he's an eight-foot-tall locust, and everyone in Calliphora will tremble when they hear him sing. . . .
John is locked in a basement stained with the blood of half a dozen murdered children, and an antique telephone, long since disconnected, rings at night with calls from the dead. . . .
Nolan knows but can never tell what really happened in the summer of '77, when his idiot savant younger brother built a vast cardboard fort with secret doors leading into other worlds. . . .
The past isn't dead. It isn't even past. . . .

- Read this, even if you're not a horror fan. Thank you, Steven King.Reading this will make you want to write Steven King a thank-you note: this is clear, logically consistent, emotionally deep writing on a level that could only be the product of a child of writers, really good parenting of a creative child, or someone who is a naturally gifted writer--or all three.
I'm a picky bastard when it comes to writing: I occasionally write at a torturously high level for work, and my professional training has given me a memory for patterns that makes it really ... Read More

- Excellent collectionAt times, good writers are the product of their lineage, and Joe Hill is a perfect example. Since both his father and mother are best-selling authors, it's not shocking that he has inherited good writing genes. This is a collection of extremely well-written short stories. Despite the title, not all of them are "ghost stories", or even spooky ones. That being said, all of the tales contained in this book are obviously wonderful to read. The "horror" ones are quite chilling, and the non-horror ones are simply ... Read More

- Fantastic and Fun!I bought this book after reading Heart Shaped Box, which I thought wonderfully written. 20th Century Ghosts is a collection of short stories, some of which are not horror.
Joe Hill has a way of creating a story that has longevity. I am an avid reader, and lets face it; some books are entertaining for the moment, but not something you are going to really remember. I read Heart Shaped Box about a year ago and the story still stays with me. Some of the stories in 20th Century Ghosts are the same.

- Also a great audiobook20th Century Ghosts Low Price Unabridg CD
I recently ordered the audiobook version of "20th Century Ghosts" and I have to say this was on the better puchaces I made this year. I enjoy most all of the stories and the narrator did a great job presenting each story and capturing the moods. This was my first book by Joe Hill and I really hope he comes out with another collection.
Also I have to say that for all of the quality stories you get in this collection, it was also a fantastic value for ... Read More
