A pessimistic newspaperman who scoffs at the supernatural meets the thing that frightens him. Around his story Peattie gathers more hauntings, quiet and strange rather than gory: a phantom on the northern ice, a dear little ghost, a spectral collie, a house that was not there, an obstinate corpse and a room that holds an evil thought.
Quiet, unsettling ghost stories by a Chicago journalist, ideal for reading aloud on a dark evening. Download the free EPUB.
