The Giant Book Of Ghost Stories - Richard Dalby

This book is not only a compendium of fantastic classic ghost stories exquisitely translated and restored, but has what some consider to be by far the best single piece of poetry based in the supernatural in existence.

The very first work that the reader comes across is a poem by Anon., fittingly entitled simply as "Ghosts". It is not a poem of grotesquery, nor a poem of fanciful flights into the idylic spirit realms. It is rather a look at the anguish and unsightly posibility of 'the other side' for the spirits of our departed loved ones.
