Great Ghost Stories

in their time, the late 1800s, these stories would have been mediocre (some) and good (not very good) some. For today's reader, unfortunately, they are rather lame, many even boring. Furthermore, the writing style of the age, with endless sentences 5 lines long and endless expositions for a little twist are just tiring.
The only one still holding its ground was, for me, “The Monkey Paw” - WW Jacobs.
