Ghosts by Aidan & Nancy Chambers was published by Macmillan as a Topliner book in 1969. The paperback cover is another example of the left-leaning, bottom-heavy Smoke being chosen for its spooky qualities, see also Ghastly Ghost Affair and The Incredible Melting Man.
From the introduction:
This book is definitely Not to be Taken at Bedtime – unless you've got nerves of steel … or actually enjoy a sleepless night. This is a remarkable collection of tales of supernatural terror, specially chosen for their originality. and for their spine tingling qualities. Haunted houses, people possessed, diabolical influences in cerie places are among the chillers which will (literally) haunt you in a book for the bold and the brave.
