"Since I'm on the subject of ghost stories, Ambrose Bierce is one of the few Victorians who still hold up today--even if it's much easier for us, as a modern audience, to spot the twist, as so many ghost stories since have borrowed from Bierce. There's the famous "Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge," of course, but by far the best, to me, is "The Moonlit Road." It's hard to say exactly why this story, in particular, is so strangely and sadly haunting."
"Very creepy short stories about the supernatural, written (and set) in the late 1800s, told in a cold, journalistic tone which somehow elevates the strangeness of what is reported, while making the stories more credible, believable. I love this collection, and read it every October. Scarier than anything else I've read."
