The Ghost

Arnold Bennett

Sinossi

"To love her was to invite a death warrant."

Rosetta Rosa is the most beautiful opera singer in Europe, possessing a voice that enchants the masses and a face that haunts every man who sees her. But a terrifying curse follows her: every man who falls in love with her meets a sudden, violent end. When young doctor Carlo Trent finds himself under her spell, he must confront a silent, spectral rival—the jealous ghost of the late Lord Sutherland—who guards Rosa from the grave.

A Supernatural Battle of Wills: Moving from the glittering social circles of London to the foggy streets of Paris, The Ghost is a gripping exploration of obsession. Unlike traditional ghost stories, Bennett's phantom is a chillingly silent presence, a manifestation of pure, possessive malice. Carlo Trent must use his scientific mind to battle an enemy that defies the laws of nature.

The Darker Side of Arnold Bennett: Best known for his realistic "Five Towns" novels, Bennett proves his mastery of the uncanny in this atmospheric thriller. The Ghost blends the high-society drama of the Edwardian era with a psychological horror that explores the thin line between love and madness. It is a story where the most dangerous thing isn't the unknown, but the lingering grip of the past.

Love is eternal. But so is revenge. Purchase "The Ghost" today and experience a classic tale of spectral suspense.

The Four Million - Short Stories

O Henry

'There are stories in everything. I've got some of my best yarns from park benches, lampposts, and newspaper stands.'

The second collection of short stories by O. Henry, The Four Million is a moving, witty response to a contemporary newspaper editorial which claimed there are only four hundred people in New York worth knowing. O. Henry fervently disagreed.

First published in 1906, The Four Million consists of twenty-five moving short stories based in New York. Each tale showcases the lives of seemingly ordinary people – clerks, waiters, con artists and more – with irony, humour and warmth. From a charming exploration of love with 'The Gift of the Magi' to a tragic tale of friendship in 'After Twenty Years', The Four Million compellingly conveys the unique breadth of the human experience. A brilliant collection of character sketches, O. Henry reminds us how everyone has a story worth telling.
O. Henry (1862 – 1920), otherwise known as William Sydney Porter, was an American writer. Best known for his short stories, Henry also dabbled in poetry and non-fiction, and is famed for his naturalist style, wit and unexpected endings.
