Well, Stephen King's ghost stories can be action - packed at times. There are often a lot of events and encounters with the supernatural entities that keep the readers on the edge of their seats. Susan Hill, however, might take a more subdued approach. Her stories may unfold at a slower pace, but they are equally chilling. The horror in her ghost stories lies in the anticipation and the slow revelation of the nature of the ghosts.

Stephen King's unique feature in writing ghost stories is his ability to blend the ordinary with the extraordinary. He often sets his ghostly tales in familiar, everyday settings like small towns, which makes the appearance of ghosts all the more terrifying. For example, in 'Salem's Lot', the vampire - like ghosts invade a normal town. Susan Hill, on the other hand, is good at creating a sense of melancholy in her ghost stories. Her settings are often old, decaying places that add to the overall mood of the story.

One of the notable features is the ambiguity. Hill doesn't always clearly explain the nature of the ghosts or the reasons behind their hauntings. This leaves a lot to the reader's imagination and makes the stories even more haunting.

The past coming back to haunt the present is another theme. In her stories, events from the past, such as old tragedies or secrets, resurface in a ghostly form. This is seen in 'The Small Hand' where the apparition of the small hand might be related to some past event that the main character is unknowingly linked to.
