The past isn't really dead. In fact, it isn't even the past . . .
Offering selections ranging from the mundane to the surreal, 20th Century Ghosts is a collection of fourteen short stories featuring fully developed characters with complex emotional lives, and stories that veer away from the well-trodden creep shows and back alleys of the genre to the more dangerous and ominous territory of suburban basements, ball fields, and schoolyards.
“A solid, inventive, and scary collection of stories, 20th Century Ghosts reveals a writer who has thought hard about the problematics of horror.” -- New York Times
