It's December in North America and the nights are getting long and dark. This put me in exactly the right mood for these coolly cerebral gothic ghost stories from Edith Wharton. There are certainly no jump-scares here, lots of ambiguity, but I can see myself returning to these in future winters. Some favorites from the collection:

The Eyes
Kerfol
The Lady's Maid's Bell
Bewitched

Emily M I enjoyed this one too. Lack of jump-scares was a definite plus!

Yes! Many of the stories have a lot of similarities but overall these were a wintry treat!
