United by a perfect chilling atmosphere and graceful literary style

These ghostly stories range from the horror of vampires, homicidal ghosts and monstrous spectral worms and slugs (appearing in the classic "Negotium Perambulans" and "And No Bird Sings") to the satire of humorous tales that poke fun at charlatan mediums and fake seances ("Spinach" and "Mr Tilly''s Seance").

This new edition

Brings together E.F. Benson''s greatest stories, making this the one book that no fan of Benson''s or of things spectral can afford to miss.
