Following the success of The Young Oxford Book of Ghost Stories , here is a second volume. The stories are drawn from the early twentieth century tradition of ghost stories, together with contemporary stories that develop and extend this tradition. An additional feature to this collection is that it contains original stories that have been specially commissioned for these books.

A collection of wonderfully creepy, chilling, and occasionally funny stories that will be perfect for readers who have outgrown R. L. Stine's Goosebumps but aren't up to the horror of Stephen King.... The pen-and-ink illustrations are appropriately dark and enhance the mood created by these tales. A fine anthology to be enjoyed at Halloween, or anytime. --School Library Journal
Some of the ghosts in the stories are kind, some are destructive, and some lend a hand when least expected. Ghost story enthusiasts of all ages will enjoy this collection. --Book Report
