A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER
THE GHOST STORY MEGAPACK®
Yes, this megapack actually has 26 stories instead of 25. We really can count!
We had planned to include only 25 tales in The Ghost Story Megapack, but since the E.F. Benson story is also in The E.F. Benson MEGAPACK®, we’ll include it here without counting it. So enjoy an extra story on us…and if you like it, pick up The E.F. Benson MEGAPACK®, which has 36 stories by one of the masters of the supernatural genre!
