Summary

Imogene is young and beautiful, kisses like a movie star and knows everything there is to know about films. She's also dead and waiting in the Rosebud Theater for Alec Sheldon one afternoon in 1945... Arthur Roth is a lonely kid with big ideas and a gift for attracting abuse. It isn't easy to make friends when you're the only inflatable boy in town... Francis was human once, now he's an eight-foot-tall locust and everyone in Calliphora will tremble when they hear him sing... John Finney is locked in a basement that's stained with the blood of half a dozen other murdered children. An antique phone, long since disconnected, rings at night with calls from the dead...Originally published in England and winner of numerous awards, 20th Century Ghosts, is a collection of short stories that are sure to appeal fans of fantasy, horror, drama and suspense literature. Available now to the American public for the first time, this new edition includes two previously unpublished short stories and a novella.
