Stories of Ghosts

The 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century - an era of flourishing for the genre of horror stories in the literature of the Old and New Worlds. In the original collection "Stories of Ghosts," mystical tales by European and American authors about representatives of the otherworldly realm – ghosts: terrifying apparitions and their unfortunate victims, love that continues after death, noble saving spirits, and other mysterious stories.
Famous masters of literary mainstream (Henry James, Charles Dickens, Joseph Conrad), recognized masters of Gothic novella (Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Amelia Edwards, Montague Rhodes James, Edward Frederick Benson), and unjustly forgotten prose writers such as Edith Wharton, Vernon Lee, Louise Baldwin, Sabine Baring-Gould, and Percival Landon tell of dramatic, sometimes deadly confrontations between the ordinary and the fantastically eerie.
