Reseña del libro "Famous Modern Ghost Stories (en Inglés)"

Famous Modern Ghost StoriesSelected, with an IntroductionBy Dorothy ScarboroughGhosts are the true immortals, and the dead grow more alive all the time. Wraiths have a greater vitality to-day than ever before. They are far more numerous than at any time in the past, and people are more interested in them. There are persons that claim to be acquainted with specific spirits, to speak with them, to carry on correspondence with them, and even some who insist that they are private secretaries to the dead. Others of us mortals, more reserved, are content to keep such distance as we may from even the shadow of a shade. But there's no getting away from ghosts nowadays, for even if you shut your eyes to them in actual life, you stumble over them in the books you read, you see them on the stage and on the screen, and you hear them on the lecture platform. Even a Lodge in any vast wilderness would have the company of spirits. Man's love for the supernatural, which is one of the most natural things about him, was never more marked than at present. You may go a-ghosting in any company to-day, and all aspects of literature, novels, short stories, poetry, and drama alike, reflect the shadeless spirit. The latest census of the haunting world shows a vast increase in population, which might be explained on various grounds. - The Willows by Algernon Blackwood- The Shadows on the Wall by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman- The Messenger by Robert W. Chambers- Lazarus by Leonid Andreyev- The Beast with Five Fingers by W. F.
