The Ghost Stories of Edith Wharton

By: Edith Wharton

Narrated by: Elizabeth Klett

Although well-known for her novels of manners and social critique, such as The House of Mirth and the Pulitzer Prize–winning The Age of Innocence, Edith Wharton was also a master of the ghost story. Her ghostly characters appear in many different forms, haunting such places as a splendid English country estate, a lonely house on the coast of storm-tossed Brittany, and an isolated New England village.

This collection includes eight of Wharton’s best ghost stories, published between 1904 and 1928: “The Lady’s Maid’s Bell,” “The Eyes,” “Afterward,” “Kerfol,” “The Triumph of Night,” “Miss Mary Park,” “Bewitched,” and “Mr. Jones.”

Not my favorite reader

The reader's voice took me right out of the good ghosty-ness, and I couldn't even enjoy Edith Wharton. What a shame.
