It's a bit longer that our usual group reads, but it's a page turner and I doubt it will take long to read. Besides, it's the quintessential ghost story!

![The Shining (The Shining, #1) by Stephen King](https://cdn.statically.io/img/images.gr-assets.com/books/1353277730s/11588.jpg)
I'm going to suggest The Haunted Dolls' House and Other Ghost Stories by M.R. James. The stories may be ~ 100 years old, but he writes beautiful, scary, stories. A real master of the art at work.

I recall liking the book much better than the movie, though there are images from the movie that have stuck in my head. When Danny came around the corner and the twin girls were just standing there looking at him, a tingle ran down my spine.

I hate dolls, puppets and clowns too. They really give me the creeps!

But it does fit the theme, so why pull it?

Oh no, I wasn't objecting. I just don't remember that part. Well, actually, I don't remember a lot of things! :D
