"Readers in the 19th Century were firm believers in supernatural phenomena. As a result, numerous writers exploited this market with ghost stories. Many famous literary authors, names well-known today, and others, turned their hand to this genre and created stories that fascinate... and chill. The Ghost Masters series strives to bring these famous authors, and their stories to the modern reader. This volume, the first in the series, includes stories from Henry James (The Turn of the Screw, The Jolly Corner), Edith Wharton (The Lady Maid's Bell, The Eyes, Afterward, The Triumph of Night, Kerfol), William Hope Hodgson (The Gateway of the Monster, The House Among the Laurels, The Whistling Room, The Horse of the Invisible, The Searcher of the End House, The Thing Invisible), and Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward (What Was the Matter, The Tenth of January, Kentucky's Ghost, Night-Watches, The Day of My Death, Little Tommy Tucker). If you’re a connoisseur of ghost stories, then you must add these nineteen stories to your collection."
