As a Halloween treat, Juno Books is offering a free download of five ghost stories by women.

  • Let Loose, by Mary Cholmondeley (1890)
  • The Striding-Place, by Gertrude Atherton (1896)
  • The Lost Ghost, by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman (1903)
  • Kerfol, by Edith Wharton (1916)
  • Spunk, by Zora Neale Hurston (1925)

I admit that I haven’t heard of the first three authors, but am completely convinced that Edith Wharton would write a killer ghost story, and I’m very interested to see Hurston’s. Happy reading!
