The Ghost Comes Calling
by Betty Ren Wright"When Chad Weldon stepped off the bus, he knew right away that something had happened in Bristol while he was away. For one thing, his father couldn't stop smiling. For another, his great-aunt Elsa couldn't stop frowning. The smiles and frowns continued all the way home in the pickup, while Aunt Elsa asked a million questions about what was new at his cousin's house, and Chad's father chuckled at the answers. Scrunched between the grown-ups, Chad tried to figure out what was going on. He noticed that they were talking only to him, not to each other. That meant the thing that had happened while he was gone was pretty serious. His dad and Aunt Elsa argued a lot, but they hardly ever stopped talking to each other. The silence between them was scary. That evening Aunt Elsa fixed chicken drumsticks and mashed potatoes, Chad's favorite dinner. It wasn't until they were through eating and the dishes were washed and they were sitting out on the front-porch steps that his father said, "Now, listen to this, boy. I've got a real surprise for you." ..." Chad could tell by the way Aunt Elsa sniffed

The Ghost-Feeler: Stories of Terror and the Supernatural
by Edith WhartonDiagnosed with typhoid fever at age of nine, Edith Wharton was beginning a long convalescence when she was given a book of ghost tales to read. Not only setting back her recovery, this reading opened up her fevered imagination to "a world haunted by formless horrors." So chronic was this paranoia that she was unable to sleep in a room with any book containing a ghost story. She was even moved to burn such volumes. These fears persisted until her late twenties. She outgrew them but retained a heightened or "celtic" (her term) sense of the supernatural. Wharton considered herself not "a ghost-seer"--the term applied to those people who have claimed to have witnessed apparitions--but rather a "ghost-feeler," someone who senses what cannot be seen. This experience and ability enabled Edith Wharton to write chilling tales that objectify this sense of unease. Far removed from the comfort and urbane elegance associated with the author's famous novels, the stories in this volume deal with vampirism, isolation, and hallucination, and were praised by Henry James, L. P. Hartley, Graham Greene, and many others.

Ghost Horse (Phantom Rider #1)
by Janni Lee SimnerThe moonlight sharpened, turning so bright it hurt Callie's eyes. Within that light, she saw something.At first she thought she imagined it. It shimmered, no more than a glowing shadow. Then all of a sudden it turned sharp and real, more real than anything else in the yard. It was a horse. A beautiful silver horse, with a coat that glistened in the moonlight and a white mark like a star on her forehead. The star shone with a light all its own, brighter than the moon, brighter than the lights of the distant houses. The horses Callie had seen by the side of the road were dull in comparison. Callie ached to step outside, to press her cheek against the horse's sleek side, to run her hands through the soft silver mane. She opened the window wider. She didn't know where the horse had come from, and she didn't care. She was glad it had stopped in her yard.
The Ghost Horse of the Mounties
by Sean O'HuiginA mysterious story drawn from actual events during the early days of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and told in an epic poem with free-form verse. On the plains of Canada's Northwest Territories a group of men and their horses--the first "mounties"--are caught in a strange and violent storm. Frightened by the thunder and lightning, the horses scatter. After the storm, all the horses are recovered--all but one. This is the story of that lone horse. Images are described. Sean O'Huigin, one of Canada's best-loved children's authors, has woven historical fact into an extraordinary poetic evocation of the vast northern wilderness. In a story that practically demands to be read aloud, the reader is invited to feel the wind and the weather, to experience the horse's bewilderment and confusion, to touch the might and majesty of nature. With startling vividness, O'Huigin evokes both the loneliness of the endless plains and a timeless landscape of the imagination. The mystery and magic of O'Huigin's work is perfectly captured in the beautifully executed art work of illustrator Barry Moser. Together, the author and the illustrator provide the stuff of myth, making The Ghost Horse of the Mounties a book that will live in the reader's memory long after dusk has fallen on the endless plains.
