Description
Three phantoms wander across the desert; a ghostly lover claims his bride at an outback station; a dead man appears beside a blood-red waterhole; a `new hand' jackaroo witnesses a ghostly struggle; a frightful monster haunts the Nullarbor Plains. Featuring the work of many well-known Australian writers, such as Dal Stivens, Lucy Sussex, Barbara Baynton, and Marcus Clarke, this anthology of nineteenth and twentieth-century Australian ghost stories ranges from convict and bush tales to spiritualist and Aboriginal writings. The collection is arranged chronologically, and is preceded by a short introduction.
