Edith Wharton was one of the most remarkable women of her time, and her immense commercial and critical success-most notably with her novel &quot;<i>The Age of Innocence</i>&quot;, which won a Pulitzer Prize-have long overshadowed her small but distinguished body of supernatural fiction.&nbsp;<br />Some of her finest fantastic and detective work (which oft times overlap) was first collected in 1910 in &quot;Tales of Men and Ghosts.&quot;&nbsp;<br />The psychological horror is as important as the literal one here, and subtle ambiguities characterised by the best of Henry James&#39;s work (such as &quot;<i>The Turn of the Screw</i>&quot;) are also present in Wharton&#39;s character studies, such as &quot;<i>The Bolted Door</i>.&quot;<br /><br />If you have never read Edith Wharton&#39;s fantasy work before, you will be captivated and delighted. Without a doubt, this is a landmark book.
