#9 Pet Sematary
Wasn't that more of a zombie type character rather than a ghost? It didn't seem to be ghost-like.

I don't think the length matters - just as long as it is one of your favorite ghost stories :)

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...

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

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.

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.

Agreed. I didn't vote for it here, but voted for it among zombie stories.

I agree! Although Pet Sematary *sort of* had ghosts, or rather the undead . . .

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

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.
