Ghost Box IV
YOU CAN’T KEEP A GOOD GHOUL DOWN.
“The classiest literary gift you can give a special ghoul on Halloween.”
—Ron Charles, Washington Post
You didn’t really think it was dead forever, did you? After years of demand, Patton Oswalt’s horror box sets return with a jump scare—turn around, you fool, there’s a new Ghost Box hiding behind that door!
Ghost Box IV includes:
Bob Leman, “Window”
Mathilda Zeller, “Kushtuka”
Ruby Cowling, “Eliminate Toxins and Increase Blood Flow”
L. D. Lewis, “Flicker”
Lord Dunsany, “The Three Infernal Jokes”
Michael Shea, “Brief Scenes of a Noxious Nativity”
Gabino Iglesias, “Don’t Go Into the Woods Alone”
Edith Wharton, “The Lady’s Maid’s Bell”
Gahan Wilson, “The Sea Was As Wet As Wet Could Be”
Francis Stevens, “Unseen—Unfeared”
Christian Bok, “The Extremophile”
As always, Ghost Box IV is available in a one-time print run. Our deluxe clamshell box includes an iridescent, colour-shifting ink foil, a ribbon bookmark, and the same magnetized lid that clicks shut with coffin-like precision.
Are you a collector? Welcome (back). We’ve also made 100 copies of a limited edition of Ghost Box IV, containing an introduction signed and hand-numbered by Oswalt. And for the real heads, we’ve made just twelve—an evil dozen, if you will—copies featuring ####.
Find all three versions in the H&O store, while they last.
“Maybe this collection is a way to contain and categorize, to imagine a phantasmagoric level of ‘bad’ so that the real version can be managed. Mostly.”
