About this product

Product Information

One might not expect a woman of Edith Wharton's literary stature to be a believer of ghost stories, much less be frightened by them, but as she admits in her postscript to this spine-tingling collection, "...till I was twenty-seven or -eight, I could not sleep in the room with a book containing a ghost story." Once her fear was overcome, however, she took to writing tales of the supernatural for publication in the magazines of the day. These eleven finely wrought pieces showcase her mastery of the traditional New England ghost story and her fascination with spirits, hauntings, and other supernatural phenomena. Called "flawlessly eerie" byMs.magazine, this collection includes "Pomegranate Seed," "The Eyes," "All Souls'," "The Looking Glass," and "The Triumph of Night."

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Enjoyable Edwardian-era ghost stories

    I purchased this to read with the on-line 19th Century reading group I belong to. (Unfortunately, there are several of the stories the group is discussing which were not included in this version of the book.) I enjoyed reading the stories anyway, which are quite interesting . . . much more enjoyable than I usually find Edith Wharton's books (since they tend to have a rather dismal storyline). In ghost stories, a dismal ending works perfectly! The stories are short; this is not serious, in-depth reading or character studies, just moderately creepy fun.

  • Nice copy.....have read one of her ghost stories in an anthology, can't wait to read this!

    Well and creepily illustrated.

  • Old ghosts

    Old fashioned and boring.

  • Ghost Stories

    This is a normal Gothic book, full of suspenseful ghost stories. I bought if for my Senior Seminar. It is not as good as Poe or Hawthorne. If you like any form of Gothic literature or if you like a good ghost story, you would enjoy this book.
