Here lies the magic of the genre; it allows you to dip your toe into an adrenaline-pumping world, while in the safety of your own armchair... It's Niffenegger's eclectic edit of stories from the past 200 years that really left us reeling * Stylist * There are shivers aplenty in this collection of ghostly tales by a variety of authors, chosen by Niffenegger, from the eerie and uncanny to the delightfully odd. Each story, creepy as it is, has a sense of loss and curtailment at its heart * Psychologies * The action takes place in a classic creepy house - a motif that also appears in Audrey Niffenegger's short story "Secret Life With Cats", a standout in Ghostly, an anthology of tales intended to cause shudders * Vogue * Niffenegger is a prolific graphic novelist and her monochrome illustrations really bring the stories to life -- Jessica Whiteley, four stars * Stylist * All the classics in one place -- Chloe Gipson * Marie Claire * A beautiful hardback, the sort of thing youll keep for years. Lucky really, as youll probably only be able to manage a couple of stories per year. For example, Edith Whartons 1931 entry, The Pomegranate Seed, is heart-stopping * The Debrief *
