About this book

A visit to Paris brings an American narrator face to face with a house that no tenant can bear to occupy. His friend Eugene has inherited the property from an aunt associated with occult practices, and a night inside promises to test the rumors surrounding it. This opening story establishes the tension between casual curiosity and an unease that ordinary explanations cannot easily settle.

Published in 1895, Ralph Adams Cram's collection contains six ghost stories. The settings range from the enclosed streets of the Latin Quarter to Sicily, where visiting architects admire Palermo's buildings and accept a local host's hospitality. Old houses, a convent, gardens and carefully observed landscapes give the supernatural a tangible setting. Readers interested in ghost fiction can find accounts shaped by travelers' impressions, conversations and mounting apprehension, with places carrying as much weight as the strange events associated with them.
