Soon afterwards, she also discovered a love for writing when her parents presented her with a writing desk for Christmas. Henry's love of animals started during her childhood.

They get together every now and then to tell each other haunting stories from their past. Ghost Story is the story of four old men: Frederick Hawthorne, Sears James, John Jaffery and Lewis Benedikt.

The most terrifying ghost novel I've ever read is probably Peter Straub's iconic Ghost Story, which feels way too real to be comfortable and conventionally "fun". It's harder for them to catch you off guard because they can't just jump at you. Ghosts have always been a harder sell in literature than on screen, though.
