Contenuto
The enduring popularity of the haunted house in literature can be attributed to its adaptability. As a symbol, it transcends specific cultural contexts, offering a versatile framework for exploring universal fears and questions. Whether as a site of psychological torment, a reflection of societal anxieties, or a repository of history, the haunted house remains a fertile ground for storytelling. This anthology brings together ten stories that showcase the haunted house in its many forms, from the gothic mansions of the 19th century to the eerie domestic spaces of the early 20th century. Each tale offers a unique exploration of the motif, demonstrating its capacity to evoke terror, wonder, and reflection. Through these stories, readers are invited to journey into the shadows of these haunted spaces, confronting the ghosts of the past and the fears that linger in every creaking floorboard and flickering light. The book includes tales by E.F. Benson, Algernon Blackwood, Edward Bulwer-Lytton, Charles Dickens, Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, Elizabeth Gaskell, Henry James, H.P. Lovecraft, Bram Stoker.
