Description:	Select Guide Rating One of the great classics of modern horror! One of the great classics of modern horror, set in a small New York town and filled with creeping dread. ''The terror just mounts and mounts'' Stephen King It began shortly after the party at which one of their members, Edward Wanderley, had died - or was killed. The Chowder Society, who for years had met in customary evening dress with the object of telling each other tales of every kind, now found themselves drawn towards the supernatural. It was some sort of solace for Edward''s loss. They began to tell ghost stories, extraordinary ghost stories ... ghost stories that did not always stop when the teller finished speaking ... Then came the dreams, shared simultaneously by the Chowder Society members, forecasting horrors the four ageing men can scarcely bring themselves to discuss. And now they are about to learn what happens to those who believe they can bury the past - and get away with murder. *Readers can''t stop turning Ghost Story''s pages:* ''A real haunting good read, the story drives you crazy in places'' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ''Intelligent and ambitious . . . one of the best horror novels of the 20th century . . . the terror, sometimes expected, often unexpected, is measured out in precise and exact quantities'' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ''This beautifully written story of evil in a small town has a lot in common with Stephen King''s IT . . .
