Book Reviews of The Ghost Stories of Edith Wharton
Book Review: You'll be surprised!
Summary: 5 Stars
Edith Wharton is best known for her classic books such as Ethan Frome and The Age of Innocence,but she also wrote superb ghost stories.She has the knack of making her characters so believable that it really seems these things could happen.M R James is the same,which is why I love his stories too.These are not stories that drip with gore,but when it dawns on you what is going on you get a definite frisson down the spine.
I particularly liked Miss Mary Pask,with its surprise ending.But then,most of these tales do have a surprise ending!
