The Ghost Stories of Edith Wharton

The Ghost Stories of Edith Wharton | Wordsworth Tales of Mystery & the Supernatural | Book Ghost Stories of Edith Wharton by Edith Wharton. Traumatized by ghost stories in her youth, Pulitzer Prize winning author Edith Wharton (1862 -1937) channeled her fear and obsession into creating a series of spine-tingling tales filled with spirits beyond the grave and other supernatural phenomena. While claiming not to believe in ghosts, paradoxically she did confess that she was frightened of them. Wharton imbues this potent irrational and imaginative fear into her ghostly fiction to great effect. In this unique collection of finely wrought tales Wharton demonstrates her mastery of the ghost story genre.
