The Collected Ghost Stories of E.F. Benson: new edn

by E. F. Benson (Author)

Synopsis

United by a perfect chilling atmosphere and graceful literary style, these ghostly stories range from the horror of vampires, homicidal ghosts and monstrous spectral worms and slugs (appearing in the classic Negotium Perambulans and And No Bird Sings ) to the satire of humorous tales that poke fun at charlatan mediums and fake seances ( Spinach and Mr Tilly's Seance ). This new edition brings together E.F. Benson's greatest stories, making this the one book that no fan of Benson's or of things spectral can afford to miss.
