The Best Ghost Stories - Softcover
In his introduction to this collection, Arthur B. Reeve asks "What is the fascination we feel for the mystery of the ghost story?" He's got a lot of thoughts on the question, of course. But you know, in the end, an aficionado can know a lot more by looking at who wrote the stories -- and this volume contains a great list, including Algernon Blackwood, Ambrose Bierce, Daniel De Foe, E.F. Benson, Edward George Bulwer-Lytton, Ellis Parker Butler, Leopold Kompert, M.R. James, Rudyard Kipling, and Vincent O'Sullivan.

About the Author:
Arthur Benjamin Reeve (1880 - 1936) was an American mystery writer. He is best known for creating the series character Professor Craig Kennedy, sometimes called "The American Sherlock Holmes" and Kennedy's Dr. Watson-like sidekick Walter Jameson, a newspaper reporter, in 18 detective novels. The bulk of Reeve's fame is based on the 82 Craig Kennedy stories, published in Cosmopolitan magazine between 1910 and 1918. These were collected in book form; with the third collection, the short stories were stitched together into pseudo-novels. The 12-volume Craig Kennedy Stories were released in 1918.
