description: They beckon you to a twilight world of flesh and spirit....  They are dream-spinners weaving macabre nightmares...phantasmic voices whispering words of dread...spectral visions taunting you into an early grave. They are ghosts, young and ancient, mischievous and maniacal, glimmering and ghoulish. Now, journey with Peter Straub, one of today's best ghost storytellers, as he and fourteen other premier peddlers of gooseflesh take you into the shivery haunts of "Ghosts."  Beginning with Straub's "Hunger," a magnificent story about the cravings of the restless dead, here are stories "never" to be read past nightfall .stories of an unholy seductress gorging on men's souls...a Hollywood B moviemaker unexpectedly cast in the role of ghostwriter...a psychic investigator who unearths far more than he bargained for...and a burned out novelist desperately seeking the phantom muses of his childhood....CONTENTSHunger: An Introduction by Peter StraubDARK:Styx by Norman PartridgeJubilee by Kathe KojaNot Far From Here by Tim SmithTHE KIDS:Momma Ghost by Alan RodgersDaddy's Girl by Gordon R.
