The Mammoth Book of Twentieth-Century Ghost Stories

Rating:
Summary: Great ghostly anthology -- a rare find!
Review: How long I have looked for 20th century ghost stories that are as spooky as they are well-written! This anthology is a rare find because it contains some of the little-known ghost stories by some of the 20th centuries greatest writers, like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and H.G. Wells. Most are genuine short stories rather than excerpts, and the time span covered makes for a surprisingly thorough foray into the genre. Horror writing at it's best!

Summary: haining, what were you thinking?
Review: not his usual self. famous persons, uninteresting stories. yes, they are well written. but the plots are mostly mediocre, and the collection is an incredibly dull read. i am giving it two stars because of the intellectual level of the writings
