What are some famous ghost stories?

Asked by Harrow185 (298points) November 4th, 2010

I have to read a book that does a good job of portraying the ghost/paranormal elements. Something that’s not too long and of course enjoyable to read! I need to have it read by 12/4/10. Yes I’ve already searched on the internet trying to find books. But I’d like a human recommendation for a book. Thank you! :o)

Does it need to be non-fiction, or does anything go?

Anything goes

M R James wrote some classics. You will find them here Try A School Story and see what you think.

You can’t really go wrong with the old classics, anything by Edgar Allen Poe should do it.

Dang! I am leaving in the morning for the U.P., if I knew about that book a couple of weeks ago I would have found a copy to read over the weekend and add to the cabin library.

Next year, though, thanks!

The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux. I was gripped – I couldn’t put it down, it was so good.
