Revenge comes from beyond the grave in Robert Louis Stevenson's \"The Body-Snatcher,\" while visions of the dead come between the living in Henry James's \"The Friends of the Friends.\" P. G. Wodehouse gives us a farcical take on the haunted house in \"Honeysuckle Cottage,\" and in L. P. Hartley's \"W.S.,\" a writer is fatally stalked by his own aggrieved creation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere are ghosts of every stripe and intent in stories from writers as varied as Elizabeth Bowen and Jorge Luis Borges, Eudora Welty and Vladimir Nabokov, Ray Bradbury and Edith Wharton, among others. In the hands of these masters, the ghost story ranges far beyond mere horror to encompass comedy and tragedy, pathos and drama, and even a touch of poetry.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeter Washington\u003c\/b\u003e is the editor of many of the Everyman's Library Pocket Poets, including \u003ci\u003eLove Poems\u003c\/i\u003e, and is the author of Madame Blavatsky's \u003ci\u003eBaboon: A History of the Mystics\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMediums\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMisfits Who Brought Spiritualism to America\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 416\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.18 x 7.22 x 4.88 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 02, 2008\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42685097148479,"sku":"9780307269249","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/74e2945e62ffabc03efdbde72c90ead9.webp?v=1764969869","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/ghost-stories-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
