Publisher's Synopsis
Nothing compares to a good ghost story. And in Haunted, some of the best short fiction writers in the business explore the many different ways to haunt someone: literally, figuratively, happily, angrily... From a man haunted by his wife's favorite appliance to a possessed building protective of its new family to a chilling twist on the modern practice of ghosting, the thirteen authors of Fiction River's latest volume provide unforgettable stories that will haunt the reader for years to come. "If you would deign to be inspired by a mixture of good manners and the macabre, leather and lace and clockwork nightmares, romance and horror, please pick this up and see if it doesn't warm the cockles of your modern cynicism." -Elitist Book Reviews on Fiction River: Alchemy & Steam Table of Contents "She's No Shimmer" by David H.
