Description and Table of Contents

Description

This selection of forty-two stories written between 1829 and 1968 presents the full range and vitality of English tradition of literary ghost fiction. Satisfying what Virginia Woolf called 'the strange human craving for the pleasure of being afraid', it demonstrates traditions historical development and its major themes, and characteristics.
