'The Haunted Library- The Classic Short Stories' carries a striking collection of ghost stories that has been traced from #classic #books and old-fashioned #libraries. Every story deals with a dark and disturbing secrets that reveal itself in an unexpected way. It includes famous stories of M.R James and Elizabeth Bowen.
My favourite one is 'The Book' and 'The Whisperer' these two narratives have stroked my spine well.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The language is classic and heavy-- deliberate reading is a must, otherwise you may find this book boring. Overall it has possessed me well with its amazing story line and the oldy-goldy phenomenon, @kala.e.kitaabi rates it 4.5/5. #readers who want some classic haunted chill should go for it. (
