Publisher's Synopsis
Although well-known for her novels of manners and social critique, such as The House of Mirth and the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Age of Innocence, Edith Wharton was also a master of the ghost story. Her ghostly characters appear in many different forms, haunting such places as a splendid English country estate, a lonely house on the coast of storm-tossed Brittany, and an isolated New England village. This collection includes eight of Wharton's best ghost stories, published between 1904 and 1928: "The Lady's Maid's Bell," "The Eyes," "Afterward," "Kerfol," "The Triumph of Night," "Miss Mary Park," "Bewitched," and "Mr. Jones."
