The Ghost's Companion: Stories of Personal Encounters with the Supernatural (Puffin Books)
Low stock: 1 left
Even if they have never seen a ghost themselves, most people know someone who claims to have seen one, so perhaps it's not so very surprising that Peter Haining has been able to collect together so many stories by authors who have themselves had supernatural experiences which have inspired their tales. Rudyard Kipling's 'My Own Ghost Story', about a haunted bungalow in India, is here; 'Escort', an eerie sea story about ships at war, is told by Daphne du Maurier, whose home by the sea in Cornwall made her so aware of the ghosts of generation of sailors lost at sea; 'Aunt Jezebel's House' is a story written by Joan Aiken when she was only seventeen, about a most unusual small boy in a train. you will find here a terrifying tale by H. R. Wakefield about a malignant river ghost, and other equally chilling tales by marvellous story-tellers like M. R. James, O. Henry, Hammond Innes, Ray Bradbury and Dennis Wheatley."--Pg.[1].

Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.
