The Mammoth Book of Haunted House Stories by Peter Haining
4.0
Overall, a good collection. A lot of the older stuff. Or I just liked the older stuff better, it's hard to say.
A Case of Eavesdropping by Algernon Blackwood is pretty nice; his stuff tends to be good.
Ghost Hunt by H. Russell Wakefield was also pretty good.
The Southwest Chamber by Mary Eleanor Freeman was very good.
The Toll-House by W.W. Jacobs was also very good. I've read it before, and it's still good.
The Ankardyne Pew by W.F. Harvey was good.
The Real and the Counterfeit by Louisa Baldwin was also good.
Mr Edward by Norah Lofts was good and creepy.
House of the Hatchet by Robert Bloch was good and scary.
Lost Hearts by M.R. James was good. It always is; I've read it a couple of different times at this point.
The Whistling Room by William Hope Hodgson was good and a bit creepy.
Computer Séance by Ruth Rendell was a bit silly and good.
The Judge's House by Bram Stoker was very good, very scary.
The Storm by McKnight Malmar was good and well done. I couldn't figure it out, which was great.
The Waxwork by A.M. Burrage was good, I've read it before. And I think I have a recording of Vincent Price doing it.
The Inexperience Ghost by H.G Wells is always very good, although nowadays I tend to skip to the end.
The Boogyman by Stephen King is good. It's scary and gross, and you really feel that the villain gets his good desserts.
