Haunted Women introduced me to some great authors and stories. My favorites were: Harriet Beecher Stowe’s The Ghost in the Cap’n Brown House, Grace King’s The Story of the Day, Kate Chopin’s Her Letters, Mary E. Wilkins Freeman’s Luella Miller, and The Lost Ghost.

The rest of the stories didn’t grab my attention.

Thank you so much for this collection, Mr. Bendixen. I'm working my way through the stories and savoring them. Harriet Beecher Stowe's "The Ghost in the Cap'n Brown House" is positively brilliant in so many ways. Surprisingly current. I wasn't familiar with Gertrude Atherton or Mary E. W. Freeman and am now chomping at the bit to buy their collected works. Edith Wharton is one of my favorites; glad to see two of hers in the list. Kate Chopin's "Her Letters" is a terrific study in psychology.

Hope you have more collections coming!
