Ghost stories

The 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century were the heyday of the horror genre in the literature of the Old and New Worlds. In the original collection "Ghost Stories," mystical tales by European and American authors about representatives of the otherworldly - ghosts - are presented: terrifying ghosts and their unfortunate victims, love that continues after death, noble ghostly saviors, and other mysterious stories. World-renowned masters of mainstream literature (Henry James, Charles Dickens, Joseph Conrad) and recognized masters of gothic fiction (Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Amelia Edwards, Montague Rhodes James, Edward Frederic Benson) narrate dramatic, sometimes deadly encounters between the mundane and the fantastically eerie. Also included are now unjustly forgotten prose writers such as Edith Wharton, Vernon Lee, Louisa Baldwin, Sabine Baring-Gould, and Perceval Landon. A capsule collection within the "Elegant Classics" series! Love is multifaceted, it can elevate or break the heart. Love can walk hand in hand with an alluring darkness, drawing one into otherworldly realms. Therefore, in the familiar layout of the series, we have added dark tones, fatally beautiful flowers, and animal guides. The capsule is united by the common theme of the mystical and an illustration on the spine, with illustrations inside the layout.
