ghastly tales & dark poems > scary poems > spooky stories

Who doesn't enjoy a spooky story on cold, dreary day? Or a creepy, ghostly tale on Halloween night? Ghost stories and horror fiction are huge sellers in the book publication market for a big reason - a good scare seems to appeal to everyone, young and old alike.

To the best of our knowledge, all the stories here are in the public domain. Public domain works are bodies of creativity considered to be part of a common cultural and intellectual heritage, which, in general, anyone may use, whether for commercial or non-commercial purposes. So feel free to print these stories and spread their horrific genius!

Ambrose Bierce

H.P. Lovecraft

Edgar Allan Poe
