"Ghosts are the true immortals, and the dead grow more alive all the time. Wraiths have a greater vitality today than ever before. They are far more numerous than at any time in the past, and people are more interested in them. There are persons that claim to be acquainted with specific spirits, to speak with them, to carry on correspondence with them, and even some who insist that they are private secretaries to the dead. Others of us mortals, more reserved, are content to keep such distance as we may from even the shadow of a shade. . . ." Dorothy Scarborough said in her introduction to this volume, setting the books tone quite nicely.Scarborough was a lecturer in English for Columbia University who also worked as an author and anthologist. Her works included The Supernatural in Modern English Fiction, Fugitive Verses, From a Southern Porch, all of which she authored; she also compiled volumes of stories, including this one and Humorous Ghost Stories.Among the authors anthologized here are Algernon Blackwood, Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, Robert W. Chambers, Anatole France, Fitz-James O'Brien, Ambrose Bierce, Edgar Allan Poe, Arthur Machen, and Guy de Maupassant.

An anthology of witty and superb tales of the macabre. "Think what a solemn creature the Gothic ghost was! How little originality and initiative he showed and how dependent he was on his own atmosphere for thrills! His sole appeal was to the spinal column. The ghost of to-day touches the funny bone as well. He adds new horrors to being haunted, but new pleasures also. The modern specter can be a joyous creature on occasion, as he can be, when he wishes, fearsome beyond the dreams of classic or Gothic revenant. He has a keen sense of humor and loves a good joke on a mortal, while he can even enjoy one on himself." Dorothy Scarborough Ghosts get the tongue-in-cheek treatment in some very witty tales: "The Canterville Ghost" by Oscar Wilde, "The Third Person" by Henry James," "The Ghost Ship" by Richard Middleton, and "The Transferred Ghost" by Frank R. Stockton as well as many, many more! Ominously clever, witty and humorous, Humorous Ghost Stories has been a favorite since its original publication in 1921, and readers who don't usually care for ghost stories will find that they can't put it down.

This is the story of Letty, a delicate girl who is forced to move from lush Virginia to desolate West Texas. The numbing blizzards, the howling sand storms, and the loneliness of the prairie all combine to undo her nerves. But it is the wind itself, a demon personified, that eventually drives her over the brink of madness.
