Description
Collected and edited by Arthur B. Reeve
In the introduction to this selection of tales of the macabre, anthologist Arthur Reeve writes:
"What is the fascination we feel for the mystery of the ghost story?
Man is incurably fascinated by the mysterious. If all the ghost stories of the ages were blotted out, man would invent new ones.
For, do we not all stand in awe of that which we cannot explain, of that which, if it is not in our own experience, is certainly recorded in the experience of others, of that of which we know and can know nothing?
The ghost story is not born of science, nor even of super-science, whatever that may be. It is not of science at all. It is of another sphere, despite all that the psychic researchers have tried to demonstrate."
