Description

This collection of short stories blends psychological drama with elements of the supernatural. The stories explore the complexities of human relationships, ambition, and the darker sides of the human psyche. Wharton uses ghostly and eerie encounters to delve into themes of guilt, isolation, and moral consequence. Each tale is crafted with her signature elegance and insight, making it a rich examination of both the natural and supernatural forces that shape human experience.

EDITH WHARTON (1862-1937) was one of the most remarkable women of her time, and her immense commercial and critical success-most notably with her novel "The Age of Innocense" (1920), which won a Pulitzer Prize-have long overshadowed her small but distinguished body of supernatural fiction.
