Revenge comes from beyond the grave in Robert Louis Stevenson’s “\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eThe Body-Snatcher\u003c\/span\u003e,” while visions of the dead come between the living in Henry James’s “\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eThe Friends of the Friends\u003c\/span\u003e.” P. G. Wodehouse gives us a farcical take on the haunted house in “\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eHoneysuckle Cottage\u003c\/span\u003e,” and in L. P. Hartley’s “\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eW.S.\u003c\/span\u003e,” a writer is fatally stalked by his own aggrieved creation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere are ghosts of every stripe and intent in stories from writers as varied as Elizabeth Bowen and Jorge Luis Borges, Eudora Welty and Vladimir Nabokov, Ray Bradbury and Edith Wharton, among others. In the hands of these masters, the ghost story ranges far beyond mere horror to encompass comedy and tragedy, pathos and drama, and even a touch of poetry.","brand":"Alfred A.
