Author: Ruskin Bond
Publisher: Penguin Enterprise
ISBN: 9780143067863
Category : Ghost stories, Indic (English)
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Ruskin bond once famously remarked that while he does not believe in ghosts, he sees them all the time - in the woods, in a bar, in a crowd outside a cinema. Not surprising, then, that in his stories ghosts, jinns, witches - and the occasional monster - ae as real as the people he writes about. He makes the supernatural appear entirely natural, and therefore harder to ignore. This collection brings together all of Ruskin Bond's tales of the paranormal written over five decades. It opens with perhaps his best-known story, the unforgettable, Á face in the dark', set in a pine forest outside Simla, and ends with the shockingly macabre 'Night of the Millennium', where the scene of the action is an abondoned cemetery. In between are tales featuring monkeys and a pack of dogs come back from the dead, an elderly lady who is a witch after dark, a schoolboy riding his bicycle up and down the country road where he was killed, and Kipling's ghost in London's Victoria and Albert Museum. comprising twenty-eight classic stories that range from the chilling to the whimsical for the supernatural has its funny side too, a face in the dark and other hauntings is the perfect collection to have by your bedside when the moon is up.

The Children's Ghost Story in America
Author: Sean Ferrier-Watson
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476629080
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
Ghost stories have played a prominent role in childhood. Circulated around playgrounds and whispered in slumber parties, their history in American literature is little known and seldom discussed by scholars. This book explores the fascinating origins and development of these tales, focusing on the social and historical factors that shaped them and gave birth to the genre. Ghost stories have existed for centuries but have been published specifically for children for only about 200 years. Early on, supernatural ghost stories were rare--authors and publishers, fearing they might adversely affect young minds, presented stories in which the ghost was always revealed as a fraud. These tales dominated children's publishing in the 19th century but the 20th century saw a change in perspective and the supernatural ghost story flourished.

A Haunted House and Other Short Stories
Author: Virginia Woolf
Publisher: Double 9 Books
ISBN: 9789364284271
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"A Haunted House and Other Short Stories" by Virginia Woolf is a collection that delves into the intricate and often enigmatic aspects of human experience. In the titular story, Haunted House, the narrative revolves around ghosts who symbolize memory and the enduring presence of the past. The ghosts in the story are not malevolent but are searching for something lost, embodying themes of love and longing. Throughout the collection, Woolf employs her signature stream of consciousness technique, providing readers with an intimate look into the characters' emotional landscapes. The stories often explore existential reflections on life, death, and the passage of time, revealing the profound and sometimes lonely nature of human existence. The stories are rich with symbolism, where everyday objects and events take on deeper meanings, reflecting the characters' inner lives and the subtleties of domestic life. The narratives often lead to moments of epiphany, where characters gain sudden insights into their lives and circumstances. Woolf's modernist approach is evident in her narrative experimentation. She plays with time, perspective, and the fluidity of reality, creating stories that are both innovative and deeply affecting. The collection captures the essence of life's transient beauty and the emotional landscape of the human soul, making it a poignant and thought-provoking read.
