Ghost Stories and Gothic Tales
Edith Wharton
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Perfect for Halloween!
In these twelve haunting stories, unwitting characters encounter restless spirits, eerie visions, and otherworldly phenomena that defy rational explanation. Wharton's ghosts lurk in decaying New England mansions, mist-shrouded English estates, sun-drenched Italian villas, and the remote Moroccan desert, terrifying the living with their unfinished business.
From menacing revenants, such as the tormented spirit in "The Lady's Maid's Bell," to enigmatic hauntings, like the disquieting presence in "The Eyes," Wharton combines the ghostly and the psychological in tales that transcend the traditional Gothic ghost story. With her subtle prose and complex character studies, she peels back layers of ambiguity to reveal the nightmares that can lurk within the human heart and mind.
