What makes mostly ghostly stories so appealing?

The mystery in ghostly stories is appealing. We don't know exactly what the ghosts are or why they are there. It's like a puzzle that our minds try to solve.

I'm not entirely sure as I haven't read it specifically. But 'mostly ghostly' gives the idea that it's mainly focused on ghost - related things. And the '8 stories' part might mean there are eight individual accounts. It could be a collection of short stories where each one has its own unique ghostly element, like a haunted house in one story, a wandering spirit in another, and so on.

Probably. Since it has 'ghostly' in the title and multiple stories which might contain elements like fear, the unknown, and the supernatural, it has a high chance of being a horror book.

Sure. There is 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' which features the Headless Horseman, a very spooky character. It's a story full of mystery and fear. Also, Edgar Allan Poe's short stories like 'The Fall of the House of Usher' are great examples of mostly ghostly stories. In this story, the gloomy setting and the strange events that unfold add to the overall ghostly feel.

The mystery and supernatural elements draw people in. The idea of a ghostly succubus creates a unique and spooky atmosphere that intrigues readers.

The combination of the mysterious ghost element and the passionate romance of a highwayman creates a unique and thrilling experience. It offers a blend of the supernatural and the forbidden love that hooks readers.

The sense of thrill. People like to be scared in a safe environment, and scary stories provide that. It's like a rollercoaster ride for the mind.

The sense of the unknown. In 'darkwander stories', there are often elements that are beyond our understanding. It could be a strange creature, a supernatural power, or a mystery that defies explanation. This makes the stories exciting and makes our imagination run wild as we try to figure out what's really going on.

The unexpectedness. In fun stories, things don't always go as planned. Like in the story of the mouse and the mirror. The mouse expected cheese but got its own reflection.

The setting. The regency - era setting of 'Bridgerton' is very alluring. It gives a sense of elegance and grandeur with the big mansions, beautiful gardens, and elaborate balls. It's a world that is different from our modern one and transports viewers and readers into a time of strict social codes but also great passion.
