Reseña del libro "The Critic's Selection of Great Ghost Stories: Volume 2-Twenty-Two Short Stories of the Strange and Unusual Including 'john Charrington's Wedding',. Old Nurse's Story' and 'the Botathen Ghost' (en Inglés)"
Twenty-two chilling tales recommended by critics of supernatural fictionAnthologies of ghost stories are perennially popular. Sometimes the raison d'etre for a collection might be that the stories embrace a particular theme or that the fame or authority of the compiler imbues a special appeal or credibility. However, it occurred to the Leonaur editors that the principal concern of anyone buying such an anthology must surely be that the stories included will be of the highest order as examples of originally plotted fine writing, guaranteed to deliver the required thrills and chills. In consideration of how that outcome might best be achieved and offered to readers we decided to research as many lists of 'the best ghost stories' as we could find, compiled by critics, informed journalists and authorities of supernatural fiction, to determine which stories those people--based on as much consensus as possible--believed were, indeed, the finest ghostly tales written during the 'golden age' of the genre. Sometimes their lists included well-known stories that would be familiar to most ghost story enthusiasts, so these were removed from consideration. What remained were 42 stories which had received deservedly high praise and these we have divided between two Leonaur volumes. These collections are also available as Leonaur 'Christmas Books' since they make ideal gifts, but are here offered in the familiar Leonaur 'Supernatural and Weird Fiction' cover for both a general readership and series collectors.In volume two can be found the anonymous story 'Pichon & Sons of the Croix Rousse', 'The Story of Mary Ancel' by William Makepeace Thackeray, 'At Crighton Abbey' by Mary Braddon, 'The Miniature' by J. Y. Akerton, 'The Tapestried Chamber' by Sir Walter Scott and sixteen other creepy tales.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
