Sent to the winner of Plum's Hallowe'en Sweepstake. Enjoy!

Synopsis:
The Haunted Library" is a new collection of classic ghost stories many of which have never before been anthologized from the golden age of the genre in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Each of these stories revolves around the arcane secrets and dark psychic traces to be found in libraries, museums and other treasure troves of hidden knowledge.

Controlled release.

Thanks so much for this spooky book and for all the goodies you sent with it :)

Most of these stories were interesting and fun to read, thought they would be a bit more scary and exciting though.

Congratulations, you won Plum-Crazy´s Halloween Sweeps :) Happy Halloween

Thank you so much! This book seems like exactly the sort of thing I love to read! And the tote bag, pencil, and napkins are going to be very useful!

This was a wonderful collection of classic spooky stories! I enjoyed the creepy atmosphere and gothic-leanings of these tales. The authors were a good blend of well-known folks and people I'd never heard of. I also was very happy with the short intros to each story, which nicely balanced pointing out important historical and personal details that might affect reading, without giving away too much plot.

I think this is one of my favorite finds from the Sweepstakes!

Some of my favorite stories were:

"The Book" by Margaret Irwin, which blends horror with sarcastic, bookish humor. Even as our main character suffers, I couldn't help being amused by the torments invented for the bookish. (Finding every book you try to read intolerable is quite the heavy curse!) Of course, things later take a much darker turn.

"The Nature of the Evidence" by May Sinclair features one of the best narrator voices. I can just picture our gossipy narrator huffing her way through the bewildering, scandalizing tale!

"The Tractate Middoth" by M R James is definitely an example of why his ghost stories are still popular. His characters feel very human, and it is easy to put ourselves into the place of a frustrated book-borrower attempting to find a library book that never seems to be where it was supposed to be. (Although one would hope that such a book would be less deadly than this one!)

This is traveling back across the ocean to the winner of the Classics Sweepstakes

The first book of 7 that informed me that I'm the WINNER of the of the Mythology Sweepstakes - Round 16.

Thanks very much.

Enjoyed most of these stories, some were scary and others weren't. Some I would need to read more than once to fully understand what was going on. The story that stood out the most for me was "The Book" by Margaret Irwin.

Now travelling to the Winner in the UK.

Received in Plum-Crazy's Halloween Sweepstake, along with a lovely box of goodies, teabags, spider decorations and a white chocolate apple. Thank you Anne-Elliott, your parcel was a delight to receive.

Book looks great- I look forward to reading.

Enjoyable collection of tales with varying degrees of spookiness.

I am taking this to the Nottingham Bookcrossing meet-up. If no one takes it home, I will leave on the bookshelves in Divine.

Picked up at the Nottm meet up
