Description



About the Book



"When the narrator stumbles upon a deserted house in his search for a country home, he discovers that local legend holds the place to be haunted, a story that has terrified the local villagers and quickly does the same to his servants. Refusing to be denied, he invites a group of friends to join him, commissioning each with the task of discovering any supernatural inhabitants. On Twelfth Night, they meet to share their ghostly encounters in a evening of lively and fantastic storytelling."--Publisher's description.



Book Synopsis



On Christmas Eve, a party of friends descends on a purportedly haunted country retreat, charged with the task of discovering evidence of the supernatural. Sequestered in their rooms for the holiday, the friends reconvene on Twelfth Night at a great feast and share their stories of spectral encounter. "Conducted" by Charles Dickens and counting Elizabeth Gaskell and Wilkie Collins among its contributors, The Haunted House examines quintessentially Victorian themes-sex and longing, nostalgia and loss-in ways that continue to resonate today. Ingeniously conceived and written, and spiked with flashes of Dickensian humor, this volume is a strange and sheer delight.
