Thomas Hardy's chilling collection of ghosts, curses, and dark human obsession.
Known for his tragic novels, this essential anthology reveals Hardy's mastery of the macabre and the supernatural, drawing on the deep-seated folklore and superstition of rural England. These are tales where the line between psychological dread and genuine ghostly horror is dangerously blurred.
Prepare for a journey through the dark heart of Wessex, encountering:
-
Classic Ghost Stories: Witness the unsettling apparition in A Christmas Ghost Story and the frightening visitation in The Spectre of the Real.
-
Witchcraft and Curses: Shudder at the chilling consequences of jealousy and folk magic in the famous tale The Withered Arm.
-
Suspense and Mystery: Follow the high-tension pursuit of a criminal in The Three Strangers and uncover dark secrets in The Grave by the Handpost.
-
Obsession and The Grotesque: Explore the twisted human spirit in Barbara of the House Grebe, the unsettling influence of The Fiddler of the Reels, and the fate of the protagonist in A Changed Man.
Featuring twenty stories and legends including What the Shepherd Saw, The Romantic Adventures of a Milkmaid, A Mere Interlude, and The Doctor's Legend, this volume proves that the greatest tragedies are often the darkest ghost stories.
