The Haunted Library is a new collection of classic ghost stories--many of which have never before been anthologized--from the golden age of the genre in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Each of these stories revolves around the arcane secrets and dark psychic traces to be found in libraries, museums and other treasure troves of hidden knowledge. The 12 stories included are "The Nature of the Evidence" by May Sinclair, "Mr Tallent's Ghost" by Mary Webb, "The Lost Tragedy" by Denis Mackaill, "Bone to His Bone" by Edmund Gill Swain, "Herodes Redivivus" by A. N. L. Munby, "The Book" by Margaret Irwin, "The Whisperers" by Algernon Blackwood, "The Tractate Middoth" by M. R. James, "Afterward" by Edith Wharton, "Fingers of a Hand" by Theo Douglas, "The Apple Tree" by Elizabeth Bowen, and "The Work of Evil" by William Croft Dickinson.

This time of year, I get asked a lot of questions about the “haunted” Rundel Memorial Library Building, where I work. If it is haunted, my own experiences have involved a very helpful spirit and elevators. #Ghostober #libraries (See comments for more of this story!)

Sleepswithbooks It‘s so pretty. 3y
PatriciaU My first experience involved me walking through the Upper Stacks floor with an armload of books. It was early on a Saturday and there was probably only one other person in the building. As I approached the elevator, the call button lit up and called the elevator when I was still several feet away. 3y
PatriciaU Most recently, I had a similar experience where I had arrived fairly early and there was no one around. There are 3 elevators involved in my journey from parking lot to office and, on this day, every one of them opened for me as I approached. Every one. So, if Rundel is haunted, it‘s by a friendly and polite ghost! 3y
