Ghost Stories

As Edith Wharton herself admitted, she «could not sleep in the same room with a book that contained a ghost story». However, overcoming her fear, she began to write tales of the supernatural. Her ghostly characters appear in various forms, inhabiting places such as an isolated village in New England, a magnificent estate, or a lonely house on the coast.
