A masterful collection of ghost stories that have been overlooked
by contemporary readers?including tales by celebrated authors
such as Charles Dickens, Sir Walter Scott, Mark Twain, and Edith
Wharton?presented with insightful annotations by acclaimed horror
anthologists Leslie S. Klinger and Lisa Morton.
The ghost story has long been a staple of world literature, but
many of the genre's greatest tales have been forgotten,
overshadowed in many cases by their authors' bestselling work in
other genres. In this spine-tingling anthology, little known
stories from literary titans like Charles Dickens and Edith
Wharton are collected alongside overlooked works from masters of
horror fiction like Edgar Allan Poe and M. R. James.
