As we desire them.  It’s quite a shock then when Phantoms, Ghouls and Ghosts play their part too.  They don’t play by our rules.  Our welfare is not their concern.  They will do as they wish.  And they have very vivid imaginations —way beyond the dictionary definition – Phantom. Noun. Something apparently seen, heard, or sensed, but having no physical reality. An image that appears only in the mind; an illusion. A model, especially a transparent one, of the human body or of any of its parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this compilation - \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01 - Frightening Phantoms - A Short Story Volume\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e02 - Dream Woman by Wilkie Collins\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e03 - Phantom by Arnold Bennett\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e04 - The Apparition of Mrs Veal by Daniel Defoe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e05 - Mr Testator's Visitation by Charles Dickens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e06 - The Phantom Rickshaw by Rudyard Kipling\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deadtree Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":27710399119438,"sku":"AB-8881","price":6.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/4786\/products\/9781787808881_Frightening_Phantoms_-_A_Short_Story_Volume.jpg?v=1594080739"},{"product_id":"animal-terror-a-short-story-volume-volume-1-audiobook","title":"Animal Terror - A Short Story Volume - Volume 1 (Audiobook)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRead by Richard Mitchley, Ghizela Rowe \u0026amp; Patrick Barlow (Unabridged: 2hrs 1min)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeaturing stories by Saki, Bram Stoker, H.P.
