THE RESTLESS DEAD
Life is over
but the dead live on. Within the drafty rooms of an old house, a
tarnished locket tumbles to the floor. The haunted souls of the dearly
departed are still among us. Ghosts, phantoms, revenants, lost souls ?
all these troubled spirits have unfinished business on this side of the
veil. Doomed to seek out mortal answers, unable to rest until in death,
they accomplish what they failed to achieve in life. This hair-raising
collection of haunted tales brings together both new writers and
celebrated masters ? Ramsey Campbell, Christopher Fowler, Neil Gaiman,
Richard Matheson, Michael Marshall Smith and others ? for the ultimate
collection from beyond the grave. Their characters are spirits, without
bodies but still floating in our world. Some are motivated by love,
others by loss or guilt. But sometimes they are driven by much stronger
emotions, menacing and diabolical motives that take us up from our
reading to check the hallways, secure the locks and question how firmly
anchored we ourselves are to our world.
