A House A-Haunt (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

The haunted house is a foundational motif in the literary ghost story. There may be a distinct spectral presence, or the building itself (or even just a room) may take on the supernatural essence. Authors have been playing with the theme for decades, exploring the idea of haunting and being haunted within what was intended to be a welcoming home, making clear that tragedy, pain, and evil leave their marks.

Eighteen stories and a short series ('The Ghost Hunters, ' by Allen Upward) are included in this volume.

Included are: The Ghost Story of Pliny the Younger; The Tapestried Chamber (Sir Walter Scott); The Haunted Manor-House of Paddington (Charles Ollier); The Haunted and the Haunters (Edward Bulwer-Lytton); An Authentic Narrative of a Haunted House (Sheridan Le Fanu); The Ghost at Laburnum Villa (Anonymous); The Spook House (Ambrose Bierce); The Little Room (Madeline Yale Wynne); The Red Room (H. G. Wells); The House that was Not (Elia Wilkinson Peattie); A Case of Eavesdropping (Algernon Blackwood); The Southwest Chamber (Mary E. Wilkins Freeman); The Empty House (Algernon Blackwood); The Toll-House (W. W. Jacobs); Afterward (Edith Wharton); The Beckoning Fair One (Oliver Onions); The Attic (Algernon Blackwood); The Decoy (Algernon Blackwood); The Ghost Hunters (Allen Upward)
