The Ghost-Feeler: Stories of Terror and the Supernatural

Edith Wharton. Peter Owen Publishers, $37.95 (188pp) ISBN 978-0-7206-0996-7

Edith Wharton described herself as having an ""intense Celtic sense of the supernatural."" The Ghost-Feeler: Stories of Terror and the Supernatural, selected and introduced by Peter Haining, contains nine stories that Wharton wrote between 1893 and 1935. While they display the elegant prose of her novels, these tales revolve around supernatural manifestations (vampires, doppelgangers) made credible by Wharton's superb storytelling skills.
