Lisa Tuttle (Introduction) is an award-winning American-born writer living in Scotland who has been writing (and reading) ghost stories for more than fifty years. Three of her short story collections, including the latest, Riding the Nightmare, are in print. Her first novel, Windhaven, was written in collaboration with George R.R. Martin. Her most recent novel, The Curious Affair of the Missing Mummies, is the third in a series of supernaturally tinged mysteries set in 1890s London.

"Classic Ghost Stories is a definite recommendation from me for anyone who likes their haunted places lit by gaslight, where characters with names like Algernon and Rebecca go around saying things like “By Jove!” and want a little chill created by things not being quite what they should."
