Mrs. Amworth, Negotium Perambulans, The Horror-Horn, a garland of finely-wrought ghost and horror stories from a master of the English weird tale.

E. F. Benson's 1923 collection is a landmark of the classic English ghost story. Chilling, elegant, superbly crafted. Read it for some of the finest supernatural tales ever written, a suburban vampire, a slug-god of vengeance, an Alpine monster, subtle, atmospheric, and genuinely frightening stories from one of the great masters of the form.
