About this ebook
A sixteen-year-old will give anything to be with her true love—even though he died two hundred years ago. . . . A sopping-wet little dead girl stalks a teen who had nothing to do with her death—honest! . . . A heartless man dances with his wife—after she's passed away.
From the hilarious to the horrific, master storyteller Vivian Vande Velde explores the world of the dead—and the undead—in this surprisingly moving collection of unnerving tales.
From vengeful ghosts to lovesick spirits, what happens when the dead have unfinished business?
- Chilling Ghost Stories: A teen girl thinks she's losing her mind, until she realizes the dripping ghost haunting her new house has a terrifying connection to her own past.
- Supernatural Thrills: A cruel husband who mocked his wife in life is forced into a dance that will never end when she returns from the grave.
- Psychological Horror: After his brother is killed in Vietnam, a boy’s family is torn apart by what seems to be a vengeful spirit. But is the ghost real, or is it his father's guilt?
- Paranormal Romance: A dying girl finds a strange comfort in the ghost of a handsome young man from the American Revolution, but his own tragic death holds a secret.
