The contributors range from celebrated names-Le Fanu, H.G. Wells, W.W. Jacobs, Walter Scott, Amelia B. Edwards-to writers who vanished so thoroughly from literary history that almost nothing is known of them beyond the stories themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhether the ghost arrives as a cold shadow on a bedroom wall, a voice with no living source, or a shrouded figure gripping the foot of a bed, these are stories built on atmosphere, dread, and the unsettling conviction that the past is never entirely past.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume contains: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\"Introduction,\" by John Betancourt\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\"The Ghost's Summons,\" by Ada Buisson\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\"The Dead Sexton,\" by J.
