Favorite Ghost Stories
I’ve been having a great time sharing ghost stories for the past few months as I counted down the days until the release of my novel The Ghosts of Aquinnah, so I thought it would be fun to share a few of my favorite ghost stories (either movies or books) here at Gwen’s today. Thank you for hosting me, Gwen!
I have to include a quick note that Gwen’s Givin’ Up the Ghost definitely has a spot on this list. I loved it and look forward to reading her sequel soon!
Here are five other favorites:
Ghost Story by Peter Straub
I haven’t read this in years but it terrified me way back when!
1408
Had me at John Cusack :D
A Christmas Carol
Probably nothing I can say about this that hasn’t already been said a million times
The Sixth Sense
I saw this back when it first came out and no, I didn’t see the twist coming at all.
The Shining
To this day, I am scared to death of The Overlook Hotel.
Are you a fan of ghost stories? If so, what are your favorites?
Thank you again, Gwen!
Blurb
A brilliant
flash of light transcends through time.
Another
freezes a cloaked figure within a frame of salty mist as waves crash against a
rocky shore. Her harrowing expression shadows the beacon to a pinprick.
By the next
blaze, she is gone. Only the lighthouse remains.
Hannah’s eyes
blink in step with each heartbeat. Images of her deceased parents and Martha’s
Vineyard explode like firecrackers inside her mind.
She shakes
her head.
For weeks this eerie woman dressed in nineteenth
century garb has been haunting my webcam, but tonight she stared into my soul.
Why? ...
Who is she? ...
Casting aside
months of research on historic lighthouses, Hannah drives to the coast and
boards a ferry.
What is the
strange connection she has to this mysterious woman suspended in time?
Hannah finds
out.
But, it’s not
at all what she expects...
Hannah
unravels a century old murder.
