Share Halloween Book Bingo - Ghost Stories and Haunted Houses Square

Reading list: Halloween Book Bingo - Ghost Stories and Haunted Houses Square
This is a wide open category - there are so many to choose from. To keep the list under control, I'll only include the first book of any series pertaining to ghosts or haunted houses.
Please let me know in the comments about books you think would work here.
Please note: 2018 Halloween Bingo has separate squares for Ghosts and Haunted Houses. Most of these books should work for either, although if I'm aware they only work for one, I'll note it in the notes field for the title.

Reading this list (5)
"The Shining" by Stephen King - ISBN: 9780307743657
"Crimson Peak: The Official Movie Novelization" by Nancy Holder - ISBN: 1783296291
"The Little Stranger" by Sarah Waters - ISBN: 1844086062
"The Woman in Black" by Susan Hill - ISBN: 1846685621
These are the ones that came to my mind off the top of my head.
The Dollhouse Murders by Betty Ren Wright - ISBN: 9780823421725
-- I read this when I was a teen and loved it. I already did a reread two years ago and still loved it.
The Restorer by Amanda Stevens - ISBN: 9780778314004 (0778314006)
-- This is book one of The Graveyard Queen and could also double for 'Grave or Graveyard'
The Remains of the Dead by Wendy Roberts - ISBN: 9780451222688
-- This is the first book of The Ghost Dusters Mysteries. I remember liking it.
Better Homes and Hauntings by Molly Harper - ISBN: 9781476706009
And pretty much all of these are mysteries.
Wilkie Collins: "The Woman in White" (ISBN 10: 0141439610; ISBN 13: 9780141439617) -- also for "Gothic"
Charles Dickens: "The Signalman" (ISBN 10: 1781255911; ISBN 13: 9781781255919) -- also for "Classic Horror," "Genre: Horror," and "Gothic"
Another (adult) mystery -- Tony Hillerman: "The Ghostway" (ISBN 10: 0061967785; ISBN 13: 9780061967788) -- would also qualify for "Genry: Mystery", because it involves shamanism and a ghost believed to be "trapped" in a hogan
David Mitchell: "Ghostwritten" (ISBN 10: 0340739754; ISBN 13: 9780340739754)
And yet another one: "The Ghost Stories of Edith Wharton" (ISBN 10: 0684842572; ISBN 13: 9780684842578) -- also works for "Gothic," "Supernatural," "Dark and Stormy Night" and "Classic Horror"
"The Signalman" also qualifies for "Supernatural", come to think of it.
Oh, and -- we'll be early for this even when we're done with this bingo game, but ... Dickens, "Christmas Carol"? (ISBN 13: 9781561797462; ISBN 10: 1561797464, just in case.)
Off to bed now. I know I thought of another one for the "Gothic" list earlier, but my brain froze before I could add it and that was that for the time being ...
Robert van Gulik: "The Haunted Monastery" (ISBN 13: 9780226848792; ISBN 10: 0226848795) ... appropriately spooky and Judge Dee is trapped in the monastery as a result of a nightly snow storm, so it would also work for "Dark and Stormy Night" and "Genre: Mystery."
Sharyn McCrumb: "She Walks These Hills" (ISBN 13: 9780451184726; ISBN 10: 0451184726) -- a psychic detective; and belief in a 200 year old ghost is central to the story. Would also work for "Genre: Mystery" and "Supernatural."
... and how could I forget one of my all-time favorite stories?! Theodor Storm: "The Dykemaster" (also sometimes translated as "The Rider on the White Horse") (ISBN 13: 9780946162543; ISBN 10: 0946162549) -- the appearance of a ghost (the eponymous rider / dykemaster) in the framework story sets off the telling of a dark tale of ancient prejudice vs. modernity, culminating in a severe nightly thunderstorm. Thus also works for "Dark and Stormy Night," as well as "Gothic."

Since I haven't actually read these books, someone may correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks! And also, these will also definitely count as Romantic Suspense, if we still need books for that list as well.
Thanks and if you know of any others please let me know. :)
