Review of 'Fourth Ghost Story MEGAPACK' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Another good collection of ghost stories from the 19th century to early 20th century. Wildside Press is good at finding interesting and unusual stories. You don't necessarily run across the same old anthologized stories again and again, which is nice.

"The Stoneground Ghost Tales" by E G Swain - A set of ghost stories taking place in the small English village of Stoneground and centering around the vicar, Roland Batchel. They're not really scary, but they're amusing and interesting.
"They That Mourn" by Juliet Wilbor Tompkins - A young woman feeling guilty over how she treated her late mother gets a second chance. A very sweet story.
"The Ghost at Point of Rocks" by Frank H Spearman - A young man is given a lonely, solitary job working for the railroad. This is a good example of a psychological ghost story - are there really ghosts or is he imagining things?
A good collection with some interesting stories.
