THE GHOST OF WASHINGTON.. 216 ABOUT THE AUTHOR.. 235 PREFACE "This anthology of ghost stories owes its publication to my longstanding fascination with the supernatural and imaginative works. As a child, I was captivated by tales of spooks, haunted houses, wraiths, and specters. Stories of eerie experiences, clanking chains, ghostly apparitions, and unsettling sounds always held me spellbound and breathless. My time in editorial offices revealed that I wasn’t alone in my love for mystery stories. The desire to explore the existence veiled by death is equally potent in both old age and youth. Men, women, and children alike seek thrills and that spine-tingling sensation when reading about visitors from beyond the grave. This volume features some of Edgar Allan Poe’s most famous weird tales. In “The Black Cat,” mystery and the supernatural intertwine seamlessly, and the feline protagonist behaves naturally throughout. The story might even be true—it’s the telling that places it fittingly within this collection. Guy de Maupassant, the clever French writer, contributes two effective pieces, and lesser-known authors also offer memorable stories. Each of the twenty-five tales deserves close reading. Recently, there has been a resurgence of interest in ghost stories. High-class magazines have published supernatural incidents, and renowned writers have turned their attention to this captivating form of literature. Whether or not the reader believe in ghosts, he cannot fail to be interested in this little book. Without venturing to express a positive opinion either way, I will only say with Hamlet: “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”
