Shannon's "Ghost Stories: A Reading List"

Add to my lists | Print this list

Novels about ghosts, primarily haunted house stories.

Note: With some exceptions, short story collections, young adult fiction and series have been eliminated if so identified. Also, I have striven to include high-quality books only.
