Duchové jsou všude kolem nás. Duše zemřelých přicházející z druhého břehu jsou od nepaměti součástí našich mýtů a náboženství. K nejsilnějším a nejpůsobivějším představám lidské fantazie patří přízraky a zjevení z onoho světa zastřeného závojem smrti. Ellen Datlowová nám předkládá výbor dosud nevydaných, původních duchařských příběhů, při nichž čtenáře bude příjemně mrazit strachem. Požádala své oblíbené spisovatele, aby se zaměřili na příběhy vyvolávající hrůzu nebo nervozitu, které přimějí čtenáře nechat svítit lampičku, až půjdou spát. Spisovatelé, kteří vyhověli jejímu přání, představují hvězdnou skupinu vynikajících vypravěčů, osvědčených mistrů slova: Ramsey Campbell, Jeffrey Ford, Charles L. Grant, Glen Hirshberg, Kathe Kojaová, Tanith Leeová, Kelly Linková, Sharyn McCrumbová, Joyce Carol Oatesová, Lucius Shephard a Gahan Wilson. Strašidelně skvělí spisovatelé. Každý z nich napsal unikátní povídku naprosto odlišnou od všeho, co už bylo napsáno. A všichni vespolek vyvolali tak temná kouzla, že zcela jistě vzbudí děs nebo přinejmenším neklid i v těch nejotrlejších čtenářích.
