«Relatos de fantasmas» is Edith Wharton's book of ghost stories, published by Mundo Actual de Ediciones in hardcover (276 pages, in Spanish).
It brings together eleven ghost stories written between 1904 and the years before Edith Wharton's death. Titles such as «La campanilla de la doncella» and «El día de difuntos» create an unsettling atmosphere: ghosts emerge into hidden dimensions and appeal to a spectral instinct that the author considered universal.
Translation from English by Francisco Torres Oliver. Hardcover edition with illustrated dust jacket.
For readers of horror classics and Gothic literature who prefer suggestion to direct fright.
Edith Newbold Wharton was an American writer and designer. Wharton drew upon her insider's knowledge of upper-class New York society to portray, realistically, the lives and morals of the Gilded Age. In 1921, she became the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her novel The Age of Innocence. She was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1996. Her other well-known works are The House of Mirth, the novella Ethan Frome, and several notable ghost stories.
