A recurring dream of a house with a tower room, a ghostly motor accident on a country road, a confession from a hanged man, writhing caterpillars in an Italian villa, a young man who goes too far into the life of nature: these are tales of dread set in English drawing-rooms, Scottish glens and Egyptian deserts, told with Benson’s light social touch.
Benson’s first ghost collection, from 1912, and a favourite with readers of M. R. James. Download the free EPUB.
