Description

Tales of Men and Ghosts is a haunting and atmospheric collection that showcases Wharton's mastery of the ghost story genre and her ability to evoke a sense of unease and suspense. These tales remain a classic of American Gothic literature and a testament to Wharton's ability to craft tales that both chill and entertain.

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.
