Description

Edith Wharton's "Tales of Men and Ghosts" offers a haunting collection of stories that intertwine the supernatural with the human psyche. Through an array of characters confronting love, ambition, and regret, Wharton explores the spectral remnants of past choices and hidden desires. Each narrative subtly merges eerie occurrences with profound psychological depth, crafting an atmospheric journey through the shadowy realms of human emotions and the spectral echoes that linger.

Author

Edith Wharton (1862–1937) was born into old New York money, married badly, and wrote her way into a life of her own — much of it in France. The House of Mirth follows a woman who cannot afford a misstep; The Age of Innocence won the Pulitzer, the first for a woman in fiction. Drawing rooms, divorces, and the cost of being seen: she knew the furniture from the inside. Luxury is a trap with excellent lighting.
