Ghost stories for Halloween – or anytime. Alfred Hitchcock edited a collection of scary tales – short stories, novelettes, and a novel – in the 1965 Stories Not for the Nervous that includes “various tomes of terror, sagas of suspense…groupings of grue…” from the master of suspense. From a futuristic Twilight Zone short story by Ray Bradbury to a complete novel – “Sorry, Wrong Number” – the collection will have you looking over your shoulder and turning on all the lights.
I found this classic through the Dave Eggers interview in the New York Times book review section. Eggers wrote one of my favorite nonfiction books – Zeitoun. When interviewed for By the Book, Eggers admitted to “reading ghost stories and having a blast {when he} found a collection Hitchcock edited.”
Perfect for Halloween or anytime you are looking for old-fashioned scary fun.
