Editorial Review:
Product Description:
Expanded with great new stories, this is the biggest and best anthology of ghostly hauntings ever. Over 40 tales of visitation by the undead—from vengeful and violent spirits, set on causing harm to innocent people tucked up in their homes, to rarer and more kindly ghosts, returning from the grave to reach out across the other side. Yet others entertain desires of a more sinister bent, including the erotic.
This new edition includes a selection of favorite haunted house tales chosen by famous screen stars such as Boris Karloff, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. In addition, a top ranking list of contributors includes Stephen King, Bram Stoker, Ruth Rendell, and James Herbert—all brought together by an anthologist who himself lives in a haunted house.

- For a Good Thrilling Read...Check out this volumeI found this volume to be very good reading. Pretty much all of these stories were thrilling, and some were extremely scary, necessitating a brief break before I could continue reading. It took several months to finish reading this book, but this is the kind of book you read in sessions anyway. Definitely makes me glad that I live in a brand new house. One of my favorites was "The Whistling Room" by William Hope Hodgson. Highly recommended.

- Not so scary...This book has alot of stories, some are good, some are not so good. These stories go as far back as the 1800's. They are well written but they aren't going to appeal to the folks who are looking for a good scare.

- Never judge a book by its cover....There's the old addage, "never judge a book by its cover" (this cover is pretty cool) and I should have listened to it. Mammoth? Yes, clocking in at over 500 pages. Scary? Err, not really. Barring the one story of a Russian father and son repating the past to the horror of a neighboring tenant, this book was downright boring and allot of times hard to follow. Comprised of many short stories I thought this would be a good one to keep near the bed for when I wanted a quick read, what I didn't realize ... Read More

- Something For EveryoneThe Mammoth Book of Haunted House Stories is a vast collection of stories touching on hauntings in about every situation one could imagine. The book is divided into topical sections: Haunted Places, Avenging Spirits, Shadowy Corners (restless spirits), Phantom Lovers, Little Terrors (Ghosts of Children), Psychic Phenomena, and Houses of Horror (favorite stories of movie stars like Vincent Price).
For me, the overwhelming majority of the stories were new with The Judge's House (by Bram ... Read More

- Delight for a Dark EveningThis huge anthology is a wonderful treat for any lover of the spookiest of all horror genres - the haunted house. The selections are highly eclectic, although weighted toward the coziness of the British 19th century tradition (although there's NOTHING cozy about "Lost Hearts," the M.R. James tale included here!). You'll find a terrific balance between familiar names like William Hope Hodgson and Robert Bloch (best known for Psycho) and the more obscure - this anthology was my introduction to Basil Copper ...
