The Virago Book of Ghost Stories by Richard Dalby
Thirty four spooky stories by classic storytellers of the twentieth century - many from the 1920s and 30s - chill and excite in this classic collection. All of them demonstrate a subtle power to delight and chill at the same time as they explore those ghostly margins of the supernatural which are part of private experience as well as of popular tradition. Authors include Elizabeth Bowen, Angela Carter, Elizabeth Jane Howard, E Nesbit, Fay Weldon, Edith Wharton and Lisa St Aubin de Teran.
