Description
The terrifying presence of a restless spirit on the top deck of a London bus; a possession at the bridge table on a cruise up the Nile; a nightmare encounter with druidic sacrifice in the innocuous setting of a terraced back garden...

Benson's The Outcast pushes the boundaries of the ghost story tradition by exploring new, previously 'out of bounds' settings—such as public transport, and even hauntings by daylight—to frighten his readers from the 1890s to the 1930s.
