Reviews of Ghostly: A Collection of Ghost Stories

"Here lies the magic of the genre; it allows you to dip your toe into an adrenaline-pumping world, while in the safety of your own armchair… It's Niffenegger's eclectic edit of stories from the past 200 years that really left us reeling" * Stylist * "There are shivers aplenty in this collection of ghostly tales by a variety of authors, chosen by Niffenegger, from the eerie and uncanny to the delightfully odd. Each story, creepy as it is, has a sense of loss and curtailment at its heart" * Psychologies * "The action takes place in a classic creepy house – a motif that also appears in Audrey Niffenegger's short story "Secret Life With Cats", a standout in Ghostly, an anthology of tales intended to cause shudders" * Vogue * "Niffenegger is a prolific graphic novelist and her monochrome illustrations… really bring the stories to life" — Jessica Whiteley, four stars * Stylist * "All the classics in one place" — Chloe Gipson * Marie Claire *
