Perhaps that's why so many of Ireland's finest writers found themselves drawn to the ghost story. This collection includes the work of canonical figures like Bram Stoker, J.S. Le Fanu, Oscar Wilde, and W.B. Yeats, but also a wealth of lesser-known authors like Charlotte Riddell and Rosa Mulholland who were once bestsellers but are now unjustly neglected, all with a keen sense of Ireland's haunted character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach story in this collection is presented with its original publication details, so readers can see exactly where and when it first appeared, and a brief biography of its author.
