She was so in love with the movies and loved talking about them so much that her ghost just naturally has to haunt a movie theatre. The girl died violently in some way that involved the letting of blood. In twenty years or so, there are around two dozen people who have had encounters with the ghost girl in the theatre, and those who do never forget the experience. The short story “20 th Century Ghost,” from which the title of the collection is derived, is about the ghost of a nineteen-year-old girl who haunts an old movie theatre.

Not all the stories in the collection are about ghosts some are about other things, but nearly all the stories have some element about them of mystery or the unexplainable. ![]() 20 th Century Ghosts ~ A Capsule Book Review by Allen KoppĢ0 th Century Ghosts is a collection of contemporary short stories by American writer Joe Hill. ![]()
