Updated August 14, 2026

Condition: New Title: Roald Dahl's Book of Ghost Stories by Roald Dahl - White Who better to investigate the literary spirit world than that supreme connoisseur of the unexpected From the author of such beloved books as James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and The Witches comes a collection of spooky tales carefully curated by the author himself, Roald Dahl's Book of Ghost Stories. Of the many permutations of the macabre or bizarre, Dahl was always especially fascinated by the classic ghost story. As he relates in the erudite introduction to this volume, he read some 749 supernatural tales at the British Museum Library before selecting the 14 that comprise this anthology. "Spookiness is, after all, the real purpose of the ghost story, " Dahl writes. "It should give you the creeps and disturb your thoughts." For this superbly disquieting collection, Dahl offers favorite tales by such masterful storytellers as E. F. Benson, J. Sheridan Le Fanu, Rosemary Timperley, and Edith Wharton. Suggested age range- Adult. Format- Paperback. Product dimension- 5.48" W x 8.22" H x 0.63" D. Genre- Horror. Publisher- Farrar, Straus and Giroux, Publication date- 10-01-1984. Page count- 240.
