Why read it?
1 author picked The Ghosts as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I originally found this book used, for a buck, read a few pages, and decided to chance it. I have now read it multiple times, loving the notion of ghostly beings among us, and of time shifts, in a context that really makes sense in a story. (It helps that I’m also a sucker for old spooky houses.) I quickly imagined myself in these pages, part of the fabric of risk, intrigue, and danger, never guessing where it all might end up. Let’s see if you do.
From Jonathan's list on making me feel like I’m someone else somewhere else.
