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<\/em>. However, Bag of Bones <\/em>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.<\/p>\n

The Night Strangers <\/em>by Chris Bohjalian
\nThe Haunting of Hill House <\/em>by Shirley Jackson
\nGhost Story <\/em>by Peter Straub
\nThe Turn of the Screw <\/em>by Henry James
\nRebecca <\/em>by Daphne du Maurier
\nThe Secret of Crickley Hall <\/em>by James Herbert
\nSo Cold the River <\/em>by Michael Kortya
\nThose Across the River <\/em>by Christopher Buehlman
\n77 Shadow Street <\/em>by Dean Koontz
\nThe Harrowing <\/em>by Alexandra Sokoloff<\/p>\n
