Ghost Box II
“My top recommendation for Hallowe’en book-giving. Once again, comedian Patton Oswalt has selected a fantastic group of short stories.”
—Washington Post
Less apple, more razor blade.
The Ghost Box returned, like a mummy or a batman, to once again make your pupils dilate and the hair on your arms stand straight up—another collection of individually bound scary stories, edited and introduced by comedian and spooky specialist Patton Oswalt.
Ghost Box II included stories by:
Gertrude Atherton
Louisa Baldwin
Robert Hugh Benson
Tananarive Due
Harlan Ellison
Janet Fox
Patricia Highsmith
Joe Hill
Stephen King
Julius Long
Michael Shea
Like last year, each handmade box featured a matte-black finish, an iridescent colour-shifting foil stamp on top, and a magnetized lid. The booklets once again had debossed design details and were bound with brass staples. The 2018 edition also included a ribbon bookmark, of which we’re pretty fond.
“Because when we’re terrified about the enormity of the universe’s indifference, and our smallness in the face of it, we tell stories. When we’re powerless to shape and control our fear, we tell stories. When we feel alone, we tell stories.”
