From haunted mansions to spectral visitations, this tenth volume in Isaac Asimov’s acclaimed Magical Worlds of Fantasy series gathers stories that explore the restless boundary between life and death.
Within these pages, classic and contemporary authors summon ghosts of every kind—vengeful spirits, mournful shades, and mysterious presences that linger where reason falters. Each tale reveals a different facet of the supernatural: the psychology of fear, the persistence of memory, and the strange comfort found in the unknown.
Edited by Isaac Asimov, Martin H. Greenberg, and Charles G. Waugh, this collection blends literary craft with eerie imagination, offering readers a journey through the ghost story’s evolution—from gothic tradition to modern suspense.
Whether you believe in ghosts or not, these stories will make you wonder what waits beyond the veil—and remind you that sometimes, the past refuses to stay buried.
