I adore Edith Wharton and feel like she is criminally underrated and should be a name spoken about as often as Austen or a Bronte. This collection of ghost stories definitely didn't disappoint.
The stories themselves, whether explicitly about ghosts, or a mystery, or some sort of haunting presence, also explore other facets of the world around Wharton, the author shining a light on loneliness, class conflict, strained relationships, womanhood, and sexuality. Edith Wharton's writing is strong, as always, ahead of her time, and I feel almost all of the stories were able to stand up against one another, a difficult feat when it comes to short story collections.
Unsettling, fun, thrilling, a great gothic read.
