Edith Wharton (18621937) was an American writer whose best-known works are The House of Mirth (1905) and The Age of Innocence (1920), for which Edith won the Pulitzer Prize, becoming the first woman ever to do so. As well as writing novels, she wrote over eighty short stories and published the celebrated collections of uncanny stories Tales of Men and Ghosts (1910), Xingu and Other Stories (1916) and her collection of personal favourites, Ghosts (1937).
Drawing from a lifetime of supernatural short-story writing, this new collection of Wharton's greatest, and most chilling, tales show one of the most talented ghost story practitioners of all time at her very best.
This new edition will feature a new introductory essay discussing Wharton's indelible influence on the ghost story genre, as well as rarely anthologised tales from the British Library's editions of the legendary author's extensive oeuvre.
