PREFACE
Twenty-Five Ghost Stories - THE BLACK CAT. BY EDGAR ALLAN POE.
THE FLAYED HAND. BY GUY DE MAUPASSANT.
THE VENGEANCE OF A TREE. BY ELEANOR F. LEWIS.
THE PARLOR-CAR GHOST.
GHOST OF BUCKSTOWN INN. BY ARNOLD M. ANDERSON.
THE BURGLAR’S GHOST.
A PHANTOM TOE.
This anthology gathers twenty‑five short tales that explore the eerie edge between everyday life and the unseen. From creaking mansions to whispering woods, each story offers a compact thrill that lingers long after the final line. The editor’s love of childhood spooks shines through, making the collection feel both nostalgic and fresh.
Among the selections you’ll find a classic about a beloved cat whose harmless habits turn sinister, a tale of a tree that exacts revenge, and a ghost that haunts an inn with a single, unsettling footfall. The writers range from well‑known masters to lesser‑known voices, each delivering a tight, atmospheric narrative.
Whether you are a skeptic or a believer, the stories aim to give you that familiar shiver down the spine without relying on heavy melodrama. Short enough for a single commute yet vivid enough to linger, they invite listeners to imagine the quiet moments when the ordinary slips into the uncanny.
