Now in an archival quality (removable) Brodart cover. Eighteen ghost and supernatural stories spanning roughly a century, from Le Fanu and Wilkie Collins to Elizabeth Bowen and John Collier, selected by the poet Anne Ridler (1912-2001), a Faber editor who compiled A Little Book of Modern Verse with T.S. Eliot. In her prefatory note Ridler describes her aim as a collection readable as a whole rather than a comprehensive survey: she avoided the most often reprinted pieces and set stories of subtlety and strangeness beside stories of terror, with one or two in a lighter, burlesque vein. Highlights include M.R. James's "Lost Hearts," Henry James's "The Friends of the Friends," Edith Wharton's "The Triumph of Night," Kipling's "The House Surgeon" and Saki's "The Open Window." Printed to the authorized economy standards of the period. The jacket, with the title built from crumbling Gothic masonry and a skeletal hand reaching from beneath a tomb slab, is by Margaret Wolpe (d. 2006), sculptor, illustrator and wife of the Faber typographer and jacket designer Berthold Wolpe; her work is the subject of the 2023 monograph Margaret Wolpe: The Curious Maker. Contents: Prefatory Note; Narrative of the Ghost of a Hand (J. Sheridan Le Fanu); The Dream Woman (Wilkie Collins); The Friends of the Friends (Henry James); Who Knows? (Guy de Maupassant); The Canterville Ghost (Oscar Wilde); The Triumph of Night (Edith Wharton); Lost Hearts (M.R. James); The House Surgeon (Rudyard Kipling); The Inexperienced Ghost (H.G.
