Inhabited: Classic Haunted House Stories
()
About this ebook
Houses creak, shudder, moan, whistle, and whine. With eye-like windows and doors that appear, at night, like tunnel entrances to the unknown, houses lend themselves to our primal and persistent sense of living among ghosts. It is not difficult to imagine our ancestors conjuring tales of haunted places as they sat around fires casting shadows on
Henry James et al
Henry James (1843-1916) is among the greatest novelists in the English language. The brother of the psychologist William James and diarist Alice James, he lived in England for the greater part of his last forty years and became a British subject in 1915. His storytelling is characterized by masterful descriptions of the internal states of mind and social dynamics of his characters. In addition to his well known novels, which include The Portrait of a Lady and The Wings of a Dove, he was interested in long-form short stories. "The Turn of the Screw" (1898), a classic example of what he called the nouvelle, is one of the most celebrated haunted house stories of all time.
