Good, scary fun!
I ordered this book after a friend recommended it. I'm glad I did, because I enjoyed it very much. The book just happened to arrive on a day when it was raining, cold and windy outside. I curled up in front of a roaring fire and read most of this book in one evening. Very eerie reading, indeed! It had me glancing around the room as I was reading.I've read a lot of true ghost story books, but I've never read about the particular hauntings in this book, which is great. New, original stories are always a welcome find. I also love the way this author writes. Very easy to read, and very atmospheric. He sets the mood quite well.
I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in ghosts or likes to be creeped out. I give it five stars!

A Clever Little Book of Ghost Tales
If you enjoy an easy read but want something that makes you think ... The Ghost Next Door is for you. It's short tales don't require that you invest a lot of time in each, or you can sit and read all of them at once. Either way, many of the stories are bound to give you a chill or two, especially since they are told by everyday folks about everyday ghost experiences. If you didn't believe before, you might change your mind. Even if you don't, this is a good one to cuddle up with on a cold, rainy night for a good fright!

Fascinating reading...from a fresh perspective!
I just finished reading this book for the second time, and I feel compelled to write a review. I purchased THE GHOST NEXT DOOR several months ago and devoured it within the first few days I had it. I really enjoyed it.One night, recently, the weather was nasty outside and I was home alone. I was in the mood for some ghost stories, so I pulled THE GHOST NEXT DOOR off the shelf and made myself comfy in my Lazyboy. It was just as good the second time around! I found myself continuing to read through it over the next few days, until I had finished it once again.
This book does something not many books of its kind can lay claim to: It holds my interest from cover to cover. Maybe it's the author's wonderful writing style; maybe it's the fact that the stories are new and original; maybe it's because the book describes ghostly activity as experienced by ordinary people; heck, maybe it's the oh-so-creepy picture on the cover of the book! The fact is that it's all of these things that make this book so eerily entertaining.
I look forward eagerly to Mr. Morris' next book. Until then, I'll probably read this one a few more times!
