And believe me, human capacity for scaring oneself is almost limitless! I love these tales, they are so refreshing after exposure to most modern ghost stories. I highly recommend this and the previous volume of ghost stories by this author.. Ancient ghosts Ponder, if you will, an almost forgot time, not to far from ours. Open your mind to these dark tales and just enjoy. They love you. Moreover these stories excite the mind to think.
