The winner is.....Ghost Stories!

[Robert]

So we only have three days for this! Nominate any book that is an adult ghost story (remember, nnnnooooo young adult) and second any nominations you like!

Let's start right....now!

Nathaniel, by John Saul.

[Jill]

I don’t know if everyone think of this book as a ghost story but I love The Shining as a ghost story. I nominate The Shining.

[Michael]

I would call that a haunted house story which is why I asked if ghost story and haunted house story are the same. ALSO,I would love to second that, but it is my favorite book ever (I’m not a very deep person), so I’ve read it at least 5 times in my nearly 49 years. The last time was last year. I won’t participate in the reading, if it is the chosen book, but I will definitely add to the discussion.

[Michael]

I think it would be fun!

[Robert]

Cool, Michael! it would be cool if you participated in the discussion knowing the book the way you do. As for haunted house and ghost story subgenres I think ghost story is just a more open genre and can include haunted house stories if ghosts are a large part of the story. I am easy to please. LOL! The Shining makes the poll!

[Becky]

I nominate Ghost Story, by Peter Straub. I’m determined!!!

[Jill]

I second Ghost Story. I knits nominated this book myself.

[Robert]

Ghost Story is in the poll!

[Jill]

Auto correct. I meant I almost nominated Ghost Story myself

[Ariana]

I second The Shining

[Robert]

Ariana, do you have a book you would like to nominate as well?

[Robert]

Jill, is there a ghost story you would like to nominate?

[Ariana]

Well, if everyone here has read the shining before, I would like to nominate it's follow up, Dr. Sleep

[Jill]

Trying to think of a good ghost story!🤔

[Michael]

There’s always "Haunted" by James Herbert. I think it qualifies as a haunted house story and/or a ghost story. I think you guys are on to something with Ghost Story by Stroub. I haven’t read the book, but I’ve seen the movie many, many times. I bet the book is better.

[Jill]

I like Ghost Story

[Michael]

On Doctor Sleep: I’ve read it twice and it is definitely a worthy sequel. But, I’m not sure it qualifies as a ghost story, given that the main antagonists are Rose the Hat and the True Knot. However, it is another book I would love to discuss sometime.

[Jill]

What book?

[Jill]

Never mind. I just glanced at the post earlier

[Leila]

I second Ghost Story
