Weird West Coast: California Ghost Stories Featured Ghost Stories: Hauntings at 2:22 am The Blue Dog The Troubled Triangle A Haunting at Tequila Jacks The 2nd Street Ghost of San Jose Book Preview: A Chair is Still a Chair, but a House is not a Home when it's Haunted Susie and her husband Mark went to view their new house with their parents and two dogs at the end of September 2009. It was a beautiful house with big windows, hardwood floors and a grand somewhat modern fireplace, but it was also haunted. Although the four of them fell in love with the house at first sight, Susie knew they shouldn't move in. Apart from the fact that it was well out of their price range she could feel something else nagging at her, something strange and unusual, something not quite right. On the 10th of October of the same year they moved into their new house and for the first month everything went well. But as time passed Susie slowly started to notice little things. In their office space she felt a woman's presence, in the kitchen she could feel a darker, male presence, and each time she visited the garage she felt as if she were being watched. She felt unnerved, but shook it off as residual feelings from their last house, which had also been haunted.

Providing an indispensable resource for academics as well as readers interested in the evolution of horror fiction in the 20th century, this book provides a readable yet critical guide to global horror fiction and authors. Horror Fiction in the 20th Century encompasses the world of 20th-century horror literature and explores it in a critical but balanced fashion. Readers will be exposed to the world of horror literature, a truly global phenomenon during the 20th century. Beginning with the modern genre's roots in the 19th century, the book proceeds to cover 20th-century horror literature in all of its manifestations, whether in comics, pulps, paperbacks, hardcover novels, or mainstream magazines, and from every country that produced it. The major horror authors of the century receive their due, but the works of many authors who are less well-known or who have been forgotten are also described and analyzed. In addition to providing critical assessments and judgments of individual authors and works, the book describes the evolution of the genre and the major movements within it. Horror Fiction in the 20th Century stands out from its competitors and will be of interest to its readers because of its informed critical analysis, its unprecedented coverage of female authors and writers of color, and its concise historical overview.
