Jerome. Almost every decent English house has its own ghost, about which the owners are happy to tell their friends, especially if the weather outside is gloomy and rainy. Of course, this could not fail to be reflected in the literature. On the pages of this collection of “ghost stories,” which includes stories of both English and American writers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, such as Mark Twain, Montague Rhodes James, Amelie Edwards, Edith Wharton and others, the reader will encounter engravings that come to life, magical spells, sinister doubles and, of course, with suffering souls who were unable to find peace.
