The Virago Book of Ghost Stories

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (26394 ratings)

Description:Gathering together deliciously chilling tales from the three highly-acclaimed volumes of Virago ghost stories, this collection features stories by A. S. Byatt, Angela Carter, Charlotte Brontë, Antonia Fraser, Penelope Lively, Ruth Rendell, Edith Wharton, and many more. Here lost loves, past enmities, and unwanted memories mingle with the inexplicable as unquiet souls return to repay kindnesses, settle scores, and haunt the imagination. All of the writers demonstrate a subtle power to delight and chill at the same time as they explore the ghostly margins of the supernatural.vii • Preface (The Virago Book of Ghost Stories: The Twentieth) • (1987) • essay by Richard Dalbyxi • Introduction (The Virago Book of Ghost Stories: The Twentieth Century) • (1987) • essay by Jennifer Uglow1 • The Eyes • (1910) • short story by Edith Wharton17 • The Violet Car • (1910) • short story by E.
