No, it was the ghost of Victor Pascow.
Just full length novels or short stories too?
Booklovinglady wrote: "Just full length novels or short stories too?"I don't think the length matters - just as long as it is one of your favorite ghost stories :)
Dorlana wrote: "I don't think the length matters - just as long as it is one of your favorite ghost stories :)"Thanks :-)
Remind me: Where's the ghost in Alias Grace (#50)? And in The Return of the King (#213)?It's just too long ago that I read these books, as I can't remember...
there was a mountain full of ghosts in The Return Of The King.
Kylie wrote: "there was a mountain full of ghosts in The Return Of The King."I honestly can't remember... :-) Such a long time since I read the book.
I've read it more recently,,, I love the books and the movies.
Kylie wrote: "I've read it more recently,,, I love the books and the movies."I don't have time to reread it, as there are so many unread books on my shelves that I'd really like to read....
I have so many also but sometimes the choice of which new book to start is too hard so I pick up an old favourite and read that instead. Ha ha ha.
Kylie wrote: "I have so many also but sometimes the choice of which new book to start is too hard so I pick up an old favourite and read that instead. Ha ha ha."I can spend ages just reading the back covers and trying to decide which book to read next :-)
Exactly. I'm terrible at the library and book stores too.
Kylie wrote: "Exactly. I'm terrible at the library and book stores too."I try to avoid bookstores as much as I can nowadays :-) And I've cancelled my library subscription a few years back, which helps too.
That's very brave, I can't bring myself to do the same.
Kylie wrote: "That's very brave, I can't bring myself to do the same."I had to ;-) Just have a look at the number of books I have on GR. Only 1000 or so are Kindle editions, freebees mostly, and another 100 or so I borrowed. All the other books I have here, which means I have my own little library to pick and choose from.... :-)
I've spent the last few weeks sorting my rather large library (both physical and electronic) and have realised I don't think I have enough years left to read them all. I think my daughter is going to inherit my TBR list. hahahaha
Kylie wrote: "... and have realised I don't think I have enough years left to read them all. ..."Same here. Which is exactly why I try to avoid bookshops and cancelled my library subscription :-)
There are several nonfiction entries above: The Art of Loving and Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook. Careless keystrokes???
Vicki wrote: "There are several nonfiction entries above: The Art of Loving and Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook. Careless keystrokes???"Next time, do mention their position and I'll have a look and remove them. Thanks.
Found The Art of Loving on page 5 and Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book on page 7. I've removed both.
There are no ghosts in The Green Mile. Should be removed from this list.
Sherri wrote: "There are no ghosts in The Green Mile. Should be removed from this list."Done.
What a great list, I've had so much fun with this one.Now there's about 100 new books I want to read!
Dolores Claiborne, It, Dracula, Carrie, Horns, Salem's Lot, Rebecca, and Pet Sematary should all be removed. None of them have anything to do with ghosts. I could probably make a case for Duma Key as well, but I can understand the ambiguity there.All on the first page.
Jaye wrote: "#9 Pet SemataryWasn't that more of a zombie type character rather than a ghost? It didn't seem to be ghost-like."
Agreed. I didn't vote for it here, but voted for it among zombie stories.

There were no ghosts in "Rebecca." I've read it 20 times.

"Pet Sematary" is definitely a zombie story, not a ghost story. Zombies are not ghosts. Ghosts are bodiless spirits, zombies are spiritless bodies.

There were a lot of votes for Pet Sematary, but there are no ghosts, so it has been deleted.
where are the ghosts in Goblet of Fire?

Yes, Pet Sematary is more of a zombie story than a ghost story. It's actually a classic zombie story, and if there's a list for zombie stories it should be at or near the top.
