Lonely Haunts: Six Ghost Stories / the Death Mask and Other Ghosts

This volume brings together two classic ghost story collections. The first, Six Ghost Stories by Sir Thomas Graham Jackson (1919) is an antiquarian ghost story delight in the vein of M. R. James. These are fully developed tales of ordinary lives into which the supernatural creeps. The second, Mrs. H. D. Everett's The Death Mask and Other Ghosts (1920), is a fun and varied collection of fourteen shorter ghost stories, with family haunts, communication from the other side, malevolent curses, and more. These are an excellent addition to the ghost story bookshelf.
