Sophie | 112 comments Hey,

I seem to have a drought on good ghost stories at the moment and it's frustrating me a bit. I've read a lot of well-known ones: Dark Matter, The Woman in Black: A Ghost Story, The Bell Witch: An American Haunting, The Exorcist and The Amityville Horror and enjoyed them and have read loads of James Herbert's books but I've hit a wall. Can anyone recommend any good ones for me please?

Susan Catalano (susancatalano) | 33 comments Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill is one of my favorite ghost stories. It's a good creepy tale.

Sophie | 112 comments Thanks, Susan. I actually read Heart-Shaped Box a couple of years ago and enjoyed it too! I've just started reading 3AM :)

That sounds intriguing. Ever since watching the Haunting of Emily Rose, 3am has been a problem for me! LOL


Erin *Proud Book Hoarder* (erinpaperbackstash) You may like The Elementalsby Michael McDowell. It's out of print so kindle or ebook is the only affordable option I've found. Also The Devil in Gray, and an oldie but goodie: The Baby

Katya The Graveyard Queen by Amanda Stevens

The Abandoned (Graveyard Queen #0.5) by Amanda Stevens The Restorer (Graveyard Queen, #1) by Amanda Stevens The Kingdom (Graveyard Queen, #2) by Amanda Stevens The Prophet (Graveyard Queen, #3) by Amanda Stevens The Visitor (Graveyard Queen #4) by Amanda Stevens

A cemetery restorer who can see ghosts and while on a field job to restore a historic cemetery in South Carolina is sucked into solving a murder by the ghost (The victim-oh and a cop). She ends up romantically involved in a cop (the victim's partner) who is haunted by two ghosts. A fast easy read. Three full books out and three more on their way.

Anna Lowe For ghost romance, I love Kelley St John's series: Ghost and Roses, Kiss and Dwell, etc.

Kathryn Knight | 3 comments I am a huge fan of ghost stories, esp. with romance involved. Nora Roberts Midnight Bayou by Nora Roberts plus her In the Garden Trilogy. Another one called Madeleine's Ghost by Robert Girardi by Robert Girardi is one of my favorites.

Sophie | 112 comments Thank you for the recommendations. I've never been particularly drawn to ghost romance as I love a good fright but may give it a shot to broaden my horizons :)

Amber Foxx (amberfoxx) | 22 comments This was great. Romance, mystery and a ghost. The ghost isn't the romantic element--he's part of the mystery. If you ever went into a spooky old building as a kid, you'll relate to some of the scenes in this book
Dead Man's Rules by Rebecca Grace
