Description
Edith Wharton's Ghost Stories are a masterful collection of tales that evoke moods of disquiet and darkness within their own era. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, these stories weave together themes of fate, love, and the supernatural. In icy New England, a fearsome double foreshadows the fate of a rich young man; in Brittany, ancient cruelties are conjured; while in Dorset, a retrospective haunting takes place. Meanwhile, in a New York club, an elderly aesthete recounts the ghastly eyes that haunt his nights. These elegant and powerful tales showcase Wharton's unique ability to craft stories that are both unsettling and thought-provoking.
