Please suggest a good ghost story

Think there was a ghost story thread somewhere.

Dark Matter by the same author?

I’m not a huge ghost story fan as I’m a big scaredy cat but I loved The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell. It’s a historical peice split across Victorian and Tudor times. Beautifully written and a nicely done ending and genuinely spine tingly.

I was going to suggest Dark Matter, too. <goes off to search Thin Air>

Susan Hill wrote some great ghost stories, including the Woman in Black. (The original is NOT the same as the film).

I second The Woman in Black. Very good (unlike the film...)

The small hand - Susan Hill
The little stranger - Sarah Waters

M R James - Collected Ghost Stories

The Silent Companions, jeez WHAT. A read

I found Thin Air so disappointing - it’s just Dark Matter rewritten slightly less well.

Heart shaped Box by Joe Hill is a good one

The turn Of The Screw by Henry James is one of the great classics.

Heart-Shaped Box was good! So was The Woman in Black.

Ghost story by peter straub

I loved Dark Matter so going to look up some of these!

How about The Loney by Andrew Michael Hurley. Brilliant. Not a ghost story but definitely supernatural , English rural horror/gothic.

This House is Haunted by John Boyne is a good ‘old fashioned’ style ghost story.

A Good and Useful Hurt by Aric Davies (I think that's his name).

It's about a tattoo artist who starts to do memorial tattoos using a mixture of ink and ashes from the people who have died.

This gives a way to communicate with the dead people, but also puts the people at the tattoo studio in danger.
