Hi, all. I’m looking for a ghost story that I haven’t yet read. Something less well-known than these more popular titles that I’ve already read:
\—
The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
The Turn of the Screw by Henry James
Hell House by Richard Matheson
The House Next Door by Anne Rivers Siddon
Beloved by Toni Morrison
Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders
Burnt Offerings by Robert Marasco
The House by Bentley Little
The Shining by Stephen King
Ghost Story by Peter Straub
Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
\—–
Any suggestions for titles not listed above would be most appreciated. Thanks!

M.R James’ ghost stories are subtle [not Stephen King horrific] and though they are well known amongst ghost-story fans, you may not have heard of them. But if you liked Turn of The Screw, you’ll like these, I think. [the two Jameses were not related.]
My favourite – it’s the spookiest story – is ‘Oh, Whistle and I’ll Come To You, My Lad’ which is in all the best M.R James collections. Hair-raising!
