The Ghost Sequences

“A haunting is a moment of trauma, infinitely repeated. It extends forward and backward in time. It is the hole grief makes. It is a house built by memory in-between your skin and bones.”

A lush and elegant collection of tales—many having appeared in various “Best Of” anthologies—teeming with frightful and tragic events, yet profoundly and intimately human. These chilling tales will engross and enthrall.

For listeners of Kelly Link, Carmen Maria Machado, and Angela Carter, this is a must have collection of ghostly tales set to deliver a frisson of terror and glee.

Amazing collection

This felt like watching old black and white Hollywood classic movies. There is a grace and beauty just beneath the horror that make each story elegant. But don’t be fooled, this collection is devious in its scare tactics and every story casually turns into a queasy nightmare.

uneven with some gems

listening to these stories is probably the best route. many are written without dialogue,in an almost dreamlike, lyrical, stream of consciousness way that must be read out loud, like a poem. I haven't read anything else by this author but if this style remains the same for longer works, I'm not sure it would keep my attention. I am, however, intrigued enough to give it a try.

Not a fan

Truly disliked every story in this book. Guess I’m not a fan of ghost stories
