Затворите окна. Закройте шторы. Включите свет и не позволяйте ему погаснуть… • Считается, что книги пишутся лишь для того, чтобы скрасить наши серые будни. Они позволяют нам на пару часов сбежать в другие миры, где мы можем проживать сотни жизней так, как хочется нам. Однако далеко не все книги такие.

Это истории о необъяснимых происшествиях, о потерянных душах и о внезапных криках, прерывающих ночную тишину • Такие истории порой имеют свойство просто…исчезать. Истории, напечатанные в старых газетах, зачитанные по радио, или вовсе никогда не публиковавшиеся…в конце концов преданные забвению • Ghost from the Library – это новая антология забытых рассказов о сверхъестественном за авторством одних из самых выдающихся писателей всех времен – от Артура Конан Дойла и Джона Диксона Карра до Агаты Кристи
