Although well-known for her novels of manners and social critique, such as ‘The House of Mirth’ and the Pulitzer Prize–winning ‘The Age of Innocence’, Edith Wharton was also a master of the ghost story. Her ghostly characters appear in many different forms, haunting such places as a splendid English country estate, a lonely house on the coast of storm-tossed Brittany, and an isolated New England village.
This collection includes eight of Wharton’s best ghost stories, published between 1904 and 1928: “The Lady’s Maid’s Bell,” “The Eyes,” “Afterward,” “Kerfol,” “The Triumph of Night,” “Miss Mary Park,” “Bewitched,” and “Mr. Jones.”
