Why read it?

1 author picked Ghost Stories of Henry James as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

A friend found a first edition of this book in one of my favorite used bookstores. It has a gorgeous purple cover, reminiscent of horror movie posters from the 1930s, and it collects many, if not all, of James’s haunting stories beyond the typical The Turn of the Screw.

As a horror fan who all-too-often must give up a measure of aesthetic satisfaction for genre conventions, it’s nice to refresh myself with these.
