The Haunters and The HauntedGhost Stories and Tales of The SupernaturalGHOST STORIES FROM LITERARY SOURCESandGHOST STORIES FROM LOCAL RECORDS, FOLK LORE, AND LEGENDEdited With an IntroductionBy Ernest RhysClassic Ghost StoriesIn this Ghost Book, M. Larigot, himself a writer of supernatural tales, has collected a remarkable batch of documents, fictive or real, describing the one human experience that is hardest to make good. Perhaps the very difficulty of it has rendered it more tempting to the writers who have dealt with the subject. His collection, notably varied and artfully chosen as it is, yet by no means exhausts the literature, which fills a place apart with its own recognised classics, magic masters, and dealers in the occult. Their testimony serves to show that the forms by which men and women are haunted are far more diverse and subtle than we knew. So much so, that one begins to wonder at last if every person is not liable to be possessed. For, lurking under the seeming identity of these visitations, the dramatic differences of their entrances and appearances, night and day, are so marked as to suggest that the experience is, given the fit temperament and occasion, inevitable.Sample: 1.
