Book description
Turn off the lights and press play-this isn't just an audiobook, it's a masterclass in chilling storytelling. Louise Welsh, the brilliant curator behind Ghost, has assembled 100 spine-tingling tales that feel like they were whispered straight into your ear, perfect for listening after dark. Forget the usual "read with the lights on" clichΓ©-this collection demands you listen with the lights off, because the real terror happens when your imagination takes over. Welsh's selections are pure gold: from the gothic grandeur of Henry James and M.R. James to the modern dread of Stephen King and Kazuo Ishiguro, every story feels meticulously chosen to haunt you long after the final word. Hearing Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart" or Lovecraft's unsettling whispers through a skilled narrator? It's like having a ghost whisper secrets in your ear while you're alone in the house. The anthology's genius lies in its range-folk tales, Booker-winning prose, even Angela Carter's razor-sharp wit-all woven together with Welsh's insightful, warm introductions that make you feel like you're sharing a secret with a friend. You'll jump at the creak of your own floorboard, lean closer to your headphones, and find yourself replaying that one unsettling line about "a shadow moving where no shadow should be." It's not just scary; it's a reminder of why we love to be terrified. Whether you're a seasoned horror fan or new to the genre, Ghost transforms listening into an intimate, unforgettable journey through the darkest corners of the human (and supernatural) psyche. This isn't just an anthology-it's the perfect companion for any night when the shadows start to feel alive.
