About the book

This collection brings together supernatural and unsettling tales by Walter de la Mare, one of the most distinctive writers of English ghost stories. Rather than relying simply on obvious horror, de la Mare creates unease through suggestion, atmosphere and uncertainty. His stories frequently blur the boundary between reality and imagination, leaving both characters and readers unsure of what they have encountered. Subtle, eerie and psychologically complex, they demonstrate why de la Mare is regarded as a master of the literary ghost story.
