The Ghost Stories of Edith Wharton (Paperback)

The Wordsworth Editions Mystery & Supernatural range is a collection of classic ghost stories, weird tales and intriguing mysteries written by masters of the genre. These paperbacks have bold, iconic covers, making them a striking addition to your bookshelves. Traumatised by ghost stories in her youth, Pulitzer Prize winning author Edith Wharton (1862 -1937) channelled her fear and obsession into creating a series of spine-tingling tales filled with spirits beyond the grave and other supernatural phenomena. While claiming not to believe in ghosts, paradoxically she did confess that she was frightened of them. Wharton imbues this potent irrational and imaginative fear into her ghostly fiction to great effect.
