A fantastic collection of old-fashioned ghostly tales. A few of the endings made me go “huh?�� (not necessarily the fault of Wharton since I often have this reaction with short stories), but overall this is one of the best classic ghost story collections that I've read so far. My favorite of the bunch was probably Miss Mary Pask, a rather lighthearted tale of an encounter with a “dead�� elderly woman, but I can honestly say that there wasn't a single story that I didn't enjoy. I've never associated Edith Wharton with horror writing until now, but this collection is proof that she could have been a master of the genre.
