 stock image, actual book may vary For centuries, readers have enjoyed the delicious terror of stories about ghosts, spirits, phantoms, and things that go bump in the night. But how do women writers approach these spectral tales differently than men? You'll discover the answers in this unique collection of eighteen supernatural fables by female masters of the genre, including Edith Wharton, Joyce Carol Oates, Ruth Rendell, Shirley Jackson, and others. A brief author biography complements each story. Set aside your images of traditional ghosts. The writers in this volume evoke spirits of place and memory instead. As the anthologist notes in his introduction, male authors tend to write stories with avenging ghosts and heart-pounding hauntings. Women are more subtle. Their stories frequently emphasize the psychological aspects of the characters, some of whom may fear going mad. In Wharton's "Kerfol," a woman is falsely accused of murdering her husband, but can she grasp the knowledge of what really killed him? Is the scholarly gent in Oates's "An Urban Paradox" accurately viewing life's dangers . . . or is the world even more perilous than he thinks? Fortified by a firm understanding of the human condition, the authors have imbued these harrowing tales with a generous helping of reality and humanity that make them utterly intriguing.

 stock image, actual book may vary Stranger and even more compelling than his best-selling The Ghost of Flight 401 , journalist John G. Fuller turns his talents to the historic crash of the great British dirigible R101, the luxury lighter-than-air behemoth that was to revolutionize travel in the 1930s. The complex and absolutely spell-binding tale begins in 1928 when a monoplane carrying famed World War I ace Captain Raymond Hinchliffe and his copilot, the flamboyant heiress-actress Elsie Mackay, vanishes without a trace over the stormy Atlantic. As news of the disappearance makes front-page headlines around the world, British workers race to complete the largest and most advanced airship yet designed, the monumental R101. Neither medium Eileeen Garrett's terrifying pre-vision of a dirigible tragedy, nor an even more fearful warning from the dead captain Hinchliffe to another mystic, Mrs. Earl, are held as grounds for delaying the much-publicized launch of the R101 for India. Finally, in a seance that includes both women and the world-famous author Conan Doyle, Hinchliffe warns the navigator of the R101 of its various structural problems. Despite these warnings, the 777-foot R101 takes off on schedule - and plunges to the ground on the French side of the Channel, killing all but six of the fifty-four aboard. But the disaster does not mark the end of this mind-boggling tale. Two days later, through another seance, the commander of the ill-fated airship recounts in horrible detail the anguished end of the R101 and its crew. Bristling with suspense and astonishing evidence concerning the validity of psychic phenomena, The Airmen Who Would Not Die is a riveting account of a human tragedy and the superhuman events surrounding it.

 stock image, actual book may vary GHOSTS HAVE NO FEELINGS 18 STORIES "The 18 stories in this volume have been chosen from over a thousand specially-written entries in a Warwick Castle Ghost Story competition. Widely diverse in style and content, they give full rein to the imagination of their respective authors, some of whom have based their stories on the traditionally supposed ghosts of Warwick Castle, whilst others have devised their own. In many cases we see 'life' from the inside, as it were, the ghosts themselves being the story-teller. Truly a national effort, the authors whose work is included here hail from as far as the Isle of Arran to Wilshire, Essex to Shropshire, Norfolk to Avon, whilst of course the West Midlands is well represented,, proving that the noble pile that is Warwick Castle can stir the imagination of writers throughout the land. Foreword Warwick Castle, undoubtedly one of the finest and popular medieval castles in England, can hardly fail to qualify for its share of ghosts, and indeed the Watergate Tower is known as the 'Ghost Tower' Here, the ghost of an Elizabethan courtier, Sir Fulke Greville, is said to haunt his old apartments, although in fact he was murdered in London by a Manservant allegedly angry at no being included in his master's Will. Renaissance poet and writer, Sir Fulke lived to the ripe old age of 74 before his untimely demise. The Clock Tower of the Castle also claims its ghost-in-residence; that of Major John Bridges, who was garrison commander at Warwick in 1643, during the Civil War. Another ghost legend concerns on Moll Bloxham, she is said to have avenged herself by using her powers to summon a ghostly black dog which supposedly haunted the Castle precincts until it was exorcised and leapt from Caesar's Tower into the River Avon...."

 stock image, actual book may vary Many people who have psychic encounters are reluctant to talk about them for fear of being ridiculed. This is especially true for celebrities who have both their reputation and popularity to consider. This is an especially important book because the more that famous people report their psychic encounters, the more believable the subject will become. One of the book's most amazing stories concerns Elvis Presley and a psychic encounter with a fan. Dr. Hans Holzer was skeptical when a friend insisted he speak to a woman whose daughterclaimed she was in contact with Elvis' ghost. But soon Dr. Holzer was won over and for the first time became convinced that "elvis was, in fact, alive and well - Over There." This real life detective story is fully explained and documented in the opening chapter. Dr. Holzer goes on to give many more examples of celebrities and their psychic encounters including "Marilyn Monroe's Unfinished Business," "Jean Harlow's Restless Spirit," "The Troubled Ghost of Carole Lombard," and "Elizabeth Taylor's Ghostly Premonition." Here is an extraordinary collection of fourteen cases of celebrity ghosts and psychic encounters, every one based on hard facts and sound scholarship.

 stock image, actual book may vary From the Publisher: Fall River Press "Have you ever come home and wondered what might be lurking up the stairs, in the dark of the corridor where the lights don't reach and the soft footfalls of the visitor disappear into the thick carpet?" For more than five decades, Hans Holzer has been delving into disturbances from The Other Side. This Vienna-born researcher, the man they call "The Ghost Hunter," has devoted much of his adult life to tracking those phantom presences that emerge from the shadows when least expected. Whether we call these spectral personages, "ghosts" or "spirits" or "left behinds," they hover among us, defying easy explanation or dismissal. No one in America has researched these ghostly beings more assiduously or skillfully than Holzer. Indeed, he has been lauded as the most published paranormal investigator of the past century. This collection contains some of his most famous and controversial cases. Houses of Horror takes us deep into history both known and obscure; we encounter accused traitor Aaron Burr and experience the postmortem rustlings of colonial spies. In New Hampshire, a nineteenth century admiral makes things go bump in the night; a girl ghost playfully leaves surprise gifts in an old Kentucky home; and in Illinois, a suicide moves restlessly from room to room. Holzer's explorations in the seemingly unexplainable have taken him far afield. He ventures down dark corridors in eerie New England mansions and sprawling Southern homes. His ghostly quarry surfaces in Minnesota, the rural Midwest heartland; even in Hollywood and on a moving Swiss train.Ever observant, patiently curious, Holzer jots down the cases and then moves on. This rich collection of hauntings can be read as an extended glimpse into the life beyond life; the realm of the unknown.

 stock image, actual book may vary Ghosts. Unearthly presences. Things that go bump in the night. St. Augustine, America s oldest city, has them all. The unique and often turbulent history of the Ancient City has spawned more than four hundred years worth of shadowy figures of the dark hours. Come walk through misty, cobblestone streets, down shaded alleys, along the wall of the old stone fort. Smell the smoke of ancient fires, the musty corners of old houses, the garlic and olive oil of Majorcan kitchens. Listen to the tinkling of wine glasses long shattered, the strum of Spanish guitars long broken, and the laughter of a dozen foreign tongues long dead. Awaken to the midnight howling of the city's prowling cats; seek sleep between nightmares lulled by the lapping waters of the Matanzas Bay named for the massacre of the French Huguenots by the Spanish here in 1565. Author Dave Lapham has collected twenty-four stories from St. Augustine s rich oral history into a light, yet sometimes hair-raising peek at the spooky side of the Oldest City.
