About

Six Ghost Stories,these tales were collected together in bookform in 1919; and, with one exception, none of the stories has been reprinted since. They range in setting from eighteenth century London to twentieth century Italy, and include ghosts both malevolent and benevolent. “The Lady of Rosemount” and “The Eve of St John” tell of ghosts from the past intruding on the present, while “The Ring” concerns an ancient curse visited on an over-inquisitive visitor to Italy. In “Pepina” and “The Red House”, restless spirits return to haunt those responsible for their deaths; and in “A Romance of the Piccadilly Tube” Jackson has created one of the first ghost stories set in the London Underground. In his extensive Introduction, Richard Dalby has provided an account of the life and achievements of the unique personality behind Six Ghost Stories; and Jackson’s scholarly tales of ghosts and hauntings are sure to please lovers of the classic supernatural story.
