Ghostly: A Collection of Ghost Stories

introduced and illustrated by Audrey Niffenegger

Selected and introduced by the bestselling author of THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE and HER FEARFUL SYMMETRY --- including Audrey Niffenegger’s own stunning illustrations for each piece --- this is a “spine-tingling” (Chicago Tribune) collection of some of the best ghost stories of all time.

From Edgar Allan Poe to Kelly Link, M. R. James to Neil Gaiman, H.H. Munro to Audrey Niffenegger herself, GHOSTLY spans the whole history of the ghost story genre from gothic horror to the modern era. Each story is introduced by Niffenegger, with short original commentary and background on why she chose to include it. Also included is her own story, “A Secret Life with Cats.”

Perfect for the classic and contemporary ghost story aficionado, this haunting volume showcases the best of the best in the field --- including Edgar Allan Poe, Kelly Link, Neil Gaiman, Edith Wharton, P.G. Wodehouse, Ray Bradbury and so many more. “Audrey Niffenegger is a master of the supernatural… She knows a good horror story when she sees one. GHOSTLY is her collection of the best of the genre” (Bustle).
