Ghost Stories is the fourth studio album by the Los Angeles-based alternative rock band The Dream Syndicate.

[3] Lead singer and songwriter Steve Wynn played solo for a bit before the band reformed[3] with the help of a record deal with Enigma Records to make Ghost Stories, released in 1988 and produced by Elliot Mazer of Neil Young fame.

[2] Mazer, apparently, thought that conflict was a positive creative force and made Wynn work while sick, and even "intentionally angered" him.

Gene Gregorits, writing from the perspective of Wynn's later solo career, called the album "pneumatically morose" and "depressing".

[8] In 2004, however, when an expanded edition of the album was released on CD, Seattle's No Depression offered a glowing review of the "dense, desperate clang".
