Book SynopsisA brand new anthology of previously unpublished and uncollected supernatural mysteries by some of the masters of the Golden Age thrills, spills and chills perfect for Halloween.It is said that books are written to bring sunshine into our dull, grey lives to show us places we want to escape to, lives we want to live, people we want to love.

Before the screaming.And some stories just disappear. Stories printed in old newspapers, broadcast live on the wireless, sometimes not even published at all these are the stories you cannot find on even the dustiest of library shelves.Ghosts from the Library resurrects forgotten tales of the supernatural by some of the most acclaimed mystery authors of all time. From Arthur Conan Doyle and John Dickson Carr to Agatha Christie and Daphne du Maurier, this spine-chil
