Montague Rhodes James wrote of Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu that he stands absolutely in the first rank as a writer of ghost stories. This second Arkham House collection, following Green Tea and Other Ghost Stories, virtually completes the reprinting of all but Le Fanu s novel-length tales of the supernatural. The book includes an introduction by August Derleth, and these stories: The Purcell Papers, The Child That Went with the Fairies, The White Cat of Drumgunniol, Ghost Stories of Chapelizod, Stories of Lough Guir, A Night in the Bell Inn, The Dead Sexton, The Legend of Dunblane, and The Mysterious Lodger. Jacket by Frank Utpatel.
