The Ghost
Publisher Description
Not every ghost announces itself—some linger in silence.
In The Ghost, Arnold Bennett delivers a restrained and unsettling tale where suggestion matters more than spectacle. Set within an ordinary domestic world, the story explores how fear, memory, and expectation can disturb the mind more deeply than any visible apparition.
With precise prose and psychological insight, Bennett builds tension through atmosphere and inner conflict, allowing unease to grow gradually and linger long after the final page. The result is a ghost story that feels intimate, intelligent, and quietly disturbing.
A refined classic for readers who appreciate subtle horror and psychological depth over overt terror.
