  Although well-known for her novels of manners and social critique, such as The House of Mirth and the Pulitzer Prize–winning The Age of Innocence, Edith Wharton was also a master of the ghost story. Her ghostly characters appear in many different forms, haunting such places as a splendid English country estate, a lonely house on the coast of storm-tossed Brittany, and an isolated New England village. This collection includes eight of Wharton’s best ghost stories, published between 1904 and 1928: “The Lady’s Maid’s Bell,” “The Eyes,” “Afterward,” “Kerfol,” “The Triumph of Night,” “Miss Mary Pask,” “Bewitched,” and “Mr. Jones.”

  Once again, I am faced with The Forsaken-that nefarious order cloaked in darkness and malice. 
  Whispers of their latest diabolical scheme have reached my ears, and now it's up to me to stop them. But my hands are tied (literally) by the cursed rusane around my neck, rendering my magic useless against them. 
  As if that wasn't bad enough, turns out my own family is part of this wicked group. Wonderful. 
  And just when I thought my love life was back on track, it's not. Dash has been taken from me by his demoness ex-wife, and I will never see him again… 
  Now I have to put my shattered heart on the back burner as I try to take down The Forsaken. 
  But I'm a stubborn beast, so I can't let this go. Not even The Forsaken or Rita can stand in my way of bringing Dash back to me, consequences be damned. 
  I will get him back. And that's a promise.

  The devil in nineteen guises: bargaining, bored, litigious, in love, outwitted by a peasant, defeated by a woman's tongue. The anthology runs from Luther's day to Kipling and gathers Balzac, Gogol, Hawthorne and Marlowe's Faustus alongside forgotten Sunday-magazine fiends. It is a survey of what each century thought evil looked like when it sat down to talk.

  A modern American family move into a traditionally drafty and very haunted English mansion. So far so good but anyone knowing Wilde can expect twists and turns to make it interesting. In this cast the crusty old ghost has a tough time convincing the family he exists and then in frightening them. This is extremely frustrating of course to him and as the protagonist of the story, takes matters (and non-matters) into his hands to deal with the upstart and irreverent new tenants.
