Bewitched: The Ghostly Tales of Edith Wharton

A new edition exploring the works of one of the great ghost story writers, Edith Wharton, aiming to position her firmly amongst the household names published so far in the Gilded Nightmares series. Featuring some of Wharton’s essential classics such as ‘The Eyes’ and ‘Afterward’ along with less-anthologized masterpieces of the short story form.

Drawing from a lifetime of supernatural short-story writing, this new collection of Wharton’s greatest, and most chilling, tales show one of the most talented ghost story practitioners of all time at her very best.

This new edition features a new introductory essay discussing Wharton’s indelible influence on the ghost story genre, as well as rarely anthologized tales from the British Library’s editions of the legendary author’s extensive oeuvre.
