Marvin Kaye's anthologies never disappoint. They used to be ubiquitous at book sales, but have become harder to find in recent years. 'Ghosts' is a favorite of mine and has some of the finest ghost stories of all time. Where Kaye really succeeds is in selecting Victorian and early 20th century stories.
