Are you having a rush on Stephen King at the library this week? It could be because of the A&E miniseries based on his book Bag of Bones. However, Bag of Bones is unlike much of King’s other work, so if you don’t have enough copies to satisfy your patrons, and they’re looking for read-alikes rather than books by the same author (and King’s works run the gamut- not all of his work is going to appeal to everyone) here are some stories of ghosts and the supernatural that might appeal.

The Night Strangers by Chris Bohjalian
The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
Ghost Story by Peter Straub
The Turn of the Screw by Henry James
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
The Secret of Crickley Hall by James Herbert
So Cold the River by Michael Kortya
Those Across the River by Christopher Buehlman
77 Shadow Street by Dean Koontz
The Harrowing by Alexandra Sokoloff
