Publisher Description
Imogene is young, beautiful, kisses like a movie star and knows everything about every film ever made. She's also dead, the legendary ghost of the Rosebud Theater.
Arthur Roth is a lonely kid with a head full of big ideas and a gift for getting his ass kicked. It's hard to make friends when you're the only inflatable boy in town. Francis is unhappy, picked on; he doesn't have a life, a hope, a chance. Francis was human once, but that's behind him now. John Finney is in trouble. The kidnapper locked him in a basement, a place stained with the blood of half a dozen other murdered children. With him, in his subterranean cell, is an antique phone, long since disconnected...but it rings at night, anyway, with calls from the dead...
Meet these and a dozen more, in 20TH CENTURY GHOSTS, irresistible, addictive fun showcasing a dazzling new talent.
Customer Reviews
Good anthology book, but NOT a supernatural/horror collection
Well written, some very good stories (Black Phone), and don’t mind the occasional foray outside supernatural/horror, but that was maybe 50% of the book. No problem with that either, but this is classified under the horror genre. It really shouldn’t be.
Intro was a little too gushing!
However, very well written & although a few of the stories were gone as soon as I’d read them!… the ones that stayed were worth to read.
20th Century Ghosts
If you like Lovecraft and M.R James this is the collection for you. All of the stories rocked my world. Two I don"t think I understand yet. Looking forward to reading them... Quite fabulous.
