Some wishes should never be granted.

Some guilty secrets refuse to stay buried.

Some ghosts are far more entertaining than frightening.

Celebrate Halloween with three of the most beloved classic ghost stories ever written. Carefully chosen for older children, families, homeschoolers, libraries, and adults who appreciate timeless literature, this collection delivers suspense, mystery, and supernatural adventure without relying on graphic horror.

Included in this collection are:

“The Monkey’s Paw” (1902) by W. W. Jacobs

“The Tell-Tale Heart” (1843) by Edgar Allan Poe

“The Canterville Ghost” (1887) by Oscar Wilde

This exclusive edition also features original introductions, vocabulary glossaries, and discussion questions prepared by narrator Bert Nichols Stauff to enrich listening, encourage conversation, and help modern audiences appreciate these enduring literary classics.

Perfect for Halloween—or for any evening when a well-told ghost story is just the thing.
