The Virago Book of Ghost Stories

Gathering together deliciously chilling tales from the three highly acclaimed volumes of Virago ghost stories, this collection features stories by A. S. Byatt, Angela Carter, Charlotte Bronte, Antonia Fraser, Penelope Lively, Ruth Rendell, Edith Wharton, and many more. Here lost loves, past enmities, and unwanted memories mingle with the inexplicable as unquiet souls return to repay kindnesses, settle scores, and haunt the imagination. All of the writers demonstrate a subtle power to delight and chill at the same time as they explore the ghostly margins of the supernatural.

Richard Dalby has edited numerous books, including The Collected Ghost Stories of E. F. Benson, The Giant Book of Ghost Stories, and Vampire Stories.
