Items related to The Collected Ghost Stories of E.F.Benson
United by a perfect chilling atmosphere and graceful literary style, these ghostly stories range from the horror of vampires, homicidal ghosts and monstrous spectral worms and slugs (appearing in the classic "Negotium Perambulans" and "And No Bird Sings") to the satire of humorous tales that poke fun at charlatan mediums and fake seances ("Spinach" and "Mr Tilly's Seance"). This new edition brings together E.F. Benson's greatest stories, making this the one book that no fan of Benson's or of things spectral can afford to miss.

About the Author:
E.F. Benson (1867-1940) was the son of an Archbishop of Canterbury and wrote over a hundred books during his lifetime, including many popular novels and biographies. He lived in Rye from 1919 to his death, and was mayor of this Sussex town. Several of his ghost stories are set in Rye, which has also been immortalized as 'Tilling' in his wonderful 'Mapp & Lucia' novels. He was best known in his day for his ghost stories.
From Publishers Weekly:
Turn-of-the-century gothic master Benson's ghost stories come together in one volume for the first time.
