Mystic stories. In captivity at the ghosts. Twain M., Edwards A., Kip L.

The anthology includes mystical stories of the British, American and Canadian writers of the XIX - XX centuries. In the literature of the Old and New Worlds, interest in the terrible and supernatural was always present. The first place in the rich repertoire of such topics and plots, of course, occupy stories about ghosts, which have become the main characters of the book proposed.

vague shadows in ancient chambers, disturbing the new owners; invisible entities that permeate all the elements of the visible world; restless souls of victims and killers; perfumes saving mortal and destroying arrogant bouncers; Ghosts, experiencing difficult times in the era of philosophical skepticism, the heyday of science and triumph of technology, warring among themselves and even marry with each other; Finally, ordinary people who lead the cunning “ghost game” with their neighbors - all this and much other reader will find on the pages of this volume. Some stories are published in Russian for the first time or printed in new translations.
