Ghost Stories of Henry James

The stories range widely in tone and type. They include ‘The Jolly Corner’, a compelling story of psychological doubling; ‘Owen Wingrave’, which is also a subtle parable of military tradition; ‘The Friends of the Friends’, a strange story of uncanny love; and ‘The Private Life’, which finds a shrewd, high comedy in its ghostly theme.

The volume also includes James’s great novella The Turn of the Screw, perhaps the most ambiguous and disturbing ghost story ever written.

• The Romance of Certain Old Clothes
• The Ghostly Rental
• Sir Edmund Orme
