Kipling's Ghosts

Overview

KIPLING'S GHOSTS - TWELVE STORIES OF GHOSTS, HAUNTINGS, CURSES, WEREWOLVES & MAGIC

Rudyard Kipling was a master of the short story - that most difficult aspect of the writers craft to execute to perfection. The 'Ghost Story' is a classic vehicle for shorter fiction and in itself difficult to create with the perfect balance of originality, suspense and unease. Naturally, Kipling revealed himself equal to the challenge. These 12 pieces encompass all of Kipling's ghost stories, many of which are set in his familiar world of British India. They are complemented by supernatural tales of deadly curses and werewolves.
