Be afraid, be very afraid: really scary things can come in small packages, and these 100 frightening little tales offer big chills and thrills. They represent more than 150 year's worth of writing, and include the greats: H.P. Lovecraft (The Terrible Old Man), Ambrose Bierce (The Stranger), Lafcadio Hearn (A Dead Secret), Oscar Wilde (The Sphinx Without a Secret), and J. Sheridan Le Fanu (The Ghost and the Bone-Setter). Best of all, a variety of human emotions and behavior come to the fore, from avarice (August Derleth's Pacific 421) to revenge (Thorp McCluskey's Black Gold), from jealousy (Steve Rasnic Tem's Daddy) to honor (Edith Nesbit's John Charrington's Wedding) to love (Darrell Schwietzer's Clocks). Using a minimum of elements, each ghost story in this collection will entertain, captivate, and evoke a powerful response in readers.
So be warned: you might not want to read these while you're all alone in the house...

This sequel to NO GRAVES AS YET is the second in Anne Perry's WWI-era mystery series. Joseph Reavley, an army chaplain serving in Belgium, discovers the corpse of despised war correspondent Eldon Prentice, apparently murdered by someone on the British side. Meanwhile, Joseph's sister Judith is also in Belgium, working as driver to General Cullingford, Prentice's uncle. And brother Michael, an officer in British Intelligence, is in London, looking for clues to the identity of the man the Reavleys call the Peacemaker, the mysterious conspirator who ordered the murder of the Reavleys' parents. Somehow, the murder of Prentice is linked to the Peacemaker's activities, and the three siblings must find out how and why.
