Houses & ShadowsClassic Ghost Stories ReimaginedStep into the shadowed corridors of Victorian and Edwardian supernatural fiction, where forgotten houses whisper their secrets, unseen presences linger beyond locked doors, and ordinary lives are quietly transformed by encounters with the unknown.

Benson, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, Edward Bulwer-Lytton, Violet Hunt, and F. Marion Crawford.
