E.F. Benson (1867-1940) is probably best known today for his sparkling, comic 'Lucia' novels. In his own day it was his ghost stories which were his most popular works. This collection of ten stories exemplifies Benson's fine literary style and his ability to create the most frightening of ghostly and macabre tales. They are:

Mrs Amworth
Naboth's Vineyard
At the Farmhouse
Negotium Perambulans
The Wishing Well
The Terror by Night
The Thing in the Hall
The Cat
The Sanctuary
