About this book

A Bram Stoker Award–winning anthology featuring twenty stories based on local legends and ghost stories from around the world.

Wherever you're from, there are local stories of ghosts, unexplained phenomena, or some thing that people are afraid to talk about. You can dismiss them as old wives' tales, and yet they stay with us, haunting our everyday lives. In Haunted Legends, these tales are brought disturbingly to life by some of the best horror and dark fantasy writers in the world. Among the contributors are award-winners Ramsey Campbell, Caitlín R. Kiernan, and many others.

Here are stories from America's big cities and small towns, as well as far-flung corners of the globe. Discover the fox spirits of Vietnam, the specter of communism still haunting Russia in the form of Comrade Beria's ghost, the famed vampires of Rhode Island, a haunted amusement park in the Pacific Northwest, the Indian ghost city of Fatehpur Sikri, and more.
