A new anthology of classic ghost stories--the second volume in the
beautiful and collectible Pocket Classics format.
The chilling classic stories gathered here offer a remarkable
variety of approaches to the theme of haunting. Revenge comes from
beyond the grave in Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Body-Snatcher,"
while visions of the dead come between the living in Henry James's
"The Friends of the Friends." P. G. Wodehouse gives us a farcical
take on the haunted house in "Honeysuckle Cottage," and in L. P.
Hartley's "W.S.," a writer is fatally stalked by his own aggrieved
creation.
Here are ghosts of every stripe and intent in stories from writers
as varied as Elizabeth Bowen and Jorge Luis Borges, Eudora Welty
and Vladimir Nabokov, Ray Bradbury and Edith Wharton, among others.
In the hands of these masters, the ghost story ranges far beyond
mere horror to encompass comedy and tragedy, pathos and drama, and
even a touch of poetry.
