Famous Modern Ghost Stories: A House of Pomegranates Esoteric...

Originally published in 1921, editor Dorothy Scarborough compiles some of the most fascinating and eerie tales of the early 20th century. From her introduction: "Ghosts are the true immortals, and the dead grow more alive all the time. Wraiths have a greater vitality to-day than ever before. They are far more numerous than at any time in the past, and people are more interested in them. There are persons that claim to be acquainted with specific spirits, to speak with them, to carry on correspondence with them, and even some who insist that they are private secretaries to the dead."StoriesThe Willows - Algernon BlackwoodThe Shadows on the Wall - Mary E.
