I read We Have Always Lived in the Castle this year and absolutely loved it.

There may or may not be ghosts.

Turn of the Screw.

My love life.

Also, can I just say I really like the title of that DFW bio.

Materialist philosophy disproved your spooky (in the Stirnerian sense) ghost stories years ago. It's all about spooky (in the creepy crawly sense) skeleton stories now, buddy.

For a novel-length modern ghost story that pulls all the right punches, I can't recommend enough "Slade House" by David Mitchell.

This is probably the correct answer. I guess I'm a pleb, because I've usually really struggled with Henry James. However, I really liked Turn of the Screw and Daisy Miller (probably because they are both short).

Sounds interesting.

Along the same lines, I enjoyed Naomi's Room by Jonathan Aycliffe and Last Days by Adam Neville. And more importantly, I thought they were both very spoopy.
