Description

Originally published in 1921, this is an anthology of famous and chilling ghost stories compiled by Dorothy Scarborough. She was a lecturer in English for Columbia University, as well as author who producing such notable works as "The Supernatural in Modern English Fiction" and "From a Southern Porch". Scarborough was also a keen anthologist and authorised such horror greats as 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. This collection of supernatural tales will appeal to all lovers of the genre, and is not to be missed by collectors of vintage ghost stories and related work. Emily Dorothy Scarborough (1878 - 1935) was an American writer famous for her work related to Texas, folk culture, cotton farming, ghost stories and women's life in the Southwest. Other notable works by this author include: "Fugitive Verses" (1912), "From a Southern Porch" (1919), and "The Wind" (1925). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
