## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A very good read
  

*by T***N on September 16, 2019*









  
  
    These stories are more than just the usual run of ghost stories having to do more with the unexplainable that borders along the conscious mind and the supernatural.  I enjoyed Mrs. Wharton's writing style as much as the stories themselves.  I highly recommend the book.

    Interesting & Creepy Tales
  

*by C***Y on October 21, 2017*









  
  
    These stories are very interesting and told in the matter of fact, down to earth style that makes Wharton so readable.  These short tales were written over a 25 year or so period and published in different books. The Forward & Afterward were written in 1937.  This novel format came out in 1973.The pictures are OK and give a hint of the ghostly presence in each story.  Each story tends to end abruptly and leaves you wanting to know more.

    Exceedingly Fine and Effective Ghost Stories
  

*by A***S on July 5, 2009*









  
  
    I read this anthology on the heels of reading a similar anthology of horror tales by Bram Stoker.  I was surprised to find that Wharton easily surpasses Stoker as a writer of gothic tales.  I had expected that the author of Dracula would be better at this genre, but no.Some of the stories, like Kerfol, compare well with the best gothic tales of Vernon Lee, using foreign aristocratic settings and historic elements quite deftly.  Wharton is equally adroit with stories that use American settings, including those that are quite outside her own native culture of old New York.  "The Trimph of Night", for example, is set in upstate NY and deals with what happens when a man shirks his responsibility for stopping an evil man.  "Bewitched" is set somewhere in New England, possibly CT like Ethan Fromme because the town of Starkfield is mentioned a few times in the story, as it is also mentioned in Ethan Fromme.  "Bewitched" leaves much to the imagination, and after one reading it is not yet clear to me what exactly happened in this one.  I know I will have to re-read it soon.  "The Eyes" appears to be set in New York, and I was surprised at how full of gay subtext the story was, as if the protagonist in the tale was perhaps inspired by a homosexual man that Wharton knew, but did not quite like...Henry James perhaps, though I am sure she knew others.This little anthology made me feel sorry that Wharton never gave us a gothic novel or two.  The book shows that she certainly had an imagination for the disturbing and the macabre, although perhaps not enough interest in such subject matter as to compel the writing of a novel in that vein.  Expect very fine, genteel ghost stories, but don't let my descriptors fool you.  The tales are frightening and effective, and I believe them to be some of the best American gothic you can find.
