Description
Pomegranate Seed and Other Ghostly Tales by Edith Wharton is part of the Penguin Horror series, a celebration of the very best literary horror. This series features terrifying novels and tales that have, for generations, thrilled, captivated, and kept readers wide awake at night.
Known for writing some of the most incisive and elegant novels of the early twentieth century, Edith Wharton was also a master practitioner of the ghost story, producing dozens of frightful tales throughout her lifetime. Combining pristine prose with strange, suffocating atmospheres and a profound sense of the uncanny, this collection of her very best haunting narratives details spectral handwriting, isolated houses in lonely landscapes, and a husband with a terrible secret.
"Masterly stories of horror and unease" – New Yorker
