The Literate Ghost Library: Small Doses

Library

Small Doses
They say "Big things come in small packages." and that is certainly true of some Classic Ghost Stories. We have put together a collection of stories that are not only short, but extremely short, most of them under five pages in length and that can be read in a few minutes. You may be surpised at how effective they are despite their brevity. Among the authors represented here you will find works by Ambrose Bierce and H.H.Munro, both known for their skill at short form story telling. You will also find works by Bernard Capes, H.R. Wakefield and the master of the ghost story himself, M.R. James.
