  Ivan Turgenev's Ghosts is a rare venture into the supernatural for this writer, and all the more precious for it. The story has all the beauty of Turgenev's language, all the power of his description, and a decidedly chilling feel of a true ghost story.

  In this mind-bending twist of events, Benjamin Brinkley, a New York Times bestselling author, experiences a most horrifying duel with death after purchasing a typewriter at a local bookstore. Benjamin quickly realizes the machine was typing the chapters of his novel on its own. Not only was the malicious gadget typing by itself, the events from the manuscript came to life, threatening and snuffing out the lives of friends and foes alike. As events progressed, Benjamin questioned his sanity while trying desperately to stop the endless assaults from the evil typewriter whose only intent was to deliver chaos and death. This book is an exhilarating psychological roller coaster between man and machine. Events affect the residents of a small town in Georgia as one disaster after another topples their world and devastates their lives.

  Haunted Man and the Ghost's...

  The last of Dickens' Christmas novellas (1848), The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain centres around Professor Redlaw, a teacher of chemistry, whose personal life has been marred by sorrow and, he feels, by wrongs done to him in his past. He is haunted by his ghostly twin, who offers him the opportunity to forget completely all 'sorrow, wrong and trouble', claiming that this will make him happier. Redlaw wavers, but finally accepts this offer, discovering too late that there are conditions attached to it which cause him to infect with this unwanted 'gift' nearly everyone with whom he comes in contact.The story is populated by Dickens' archetypal comic figures - the Swidgers, who are servants of the college, and the hard-working but poor Tetterby family who run a nearby shop.As tends to be the case with these Christmas books, this one is awash with sentimentality, so suspend your 21st century cynicism for a few hours if you listen.

  The Turn of the Screw by Henry James is considered among the best ghost stories ever written in English. It was published in serial form in Collier's Magazine in 1898, but written in 1897-1898 when James had moved to Rye in Sussex, a quaint and picturesque small English town.The story has been filmed and adapted many times, most lately in the 2020 Netflix series 'The Haunting of Bly Manor'.  The story concerns a governess who is sent to look after two beautiful children at a remote house in the English countryside. What she experiences there is never fully explained: is she haunted or is she mad?Henry James was born in 1843 in New York but moved to live in London, where he died in 1916. James is an enormously influential figure in American literature. He wrote several very well-reviewed novels, for example, The Portrait of a Lady, but also The Bostonians, The Ambassadors and The Wings of a Dove. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911, 1912 and 1916.James turned his hand to ghost stories, which of course were all the rage at the end of the 19th Century. The Turn of the Screw is considered by some, even many, as the best ghost story ever written.
