Hi Kathleen;

I don't read a lot of "ghost" themed books.  But some of my favorite horror books are Phantoms by Dean Koontz and the rising by Brian Keene(zombie book).  Good luck in your search.

I will do 2 for 1 if you find something you like on my shelf.

I second Brian Keene. He is really great. Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill was also really good.

For a real spooky ghostly book I'd recommend BAG OF BONES by Stephen King.

Second, Bag of Bones by Stephen King is my favorite ghost novel.
