Famous Modern Ghost Stories
In 1920, acclaimed author and editor Dorothy Scarborough collected what she believed to be the finest ghost stories of her time. Her quintessential anthology includes entries from pioneering horror writers such as Ambrose Bierce, Algernon Blackwood, Guy de Maupassant, and Myla Jo Closser.
Introduction
As Scarborough says in her introduction to this volume: "Ghosts are the true immortals, and the dead grow more alive all the time."
Stories Included
The deceased and their mysterious spirits prove to be a source of endless fascination in the stories collected here, including Leonid Andreyev's biblical speculation Lazarus; Fitz-James O'Brien's gothic evocation of a New York City boarding house, What Was It?; Mary E. Wilkins Freeman's haunting narrative of three sisters, The Shadows on the Wall; and others.
