Glasgow, Ellen: Whispers in the Dark (collected ghosts). v1. 09 Dec 2018
WHISPERS IN THE DARK
The Ghost Stories of ELIZABETH GLASGOW (1873–1945) Four stories set in the American South, influenced, perhaps, by Henry James and Edgar Allen Poe. “The Shadowy Third” is the spirit of a dead child who is visible only to sensitive persons; scientifically-minded people never see her. “Dare’s Gift” tells of a house haunted by the spirit of treachery, which corrupts its inhabitants. In “The Past,” Vanderbridge’s first wife returns to haunt him and his second wife. In “Whispering Leaves,” Mammy Rhody returns to protect little Pell from harm. ================ Ellen Anderson Gholson Glasgow (April 22, 1873 – November 21, 1945) was an American novelist. A lifelong Virginian, Glasgow portrayed the changing world of the contemporary South. During more than four decades of literary work, she published 20 novels (five reaching best-seller lists), one book of short stories, a collection of poems, and a book of literary criticism. In 1941 Glasgow published In This Our Life, which won the Pulitzer Prize for the Novel in 1942. It was adapted as a movie in 1942. ================ These stories were first published 1916 ~ 1923 in various magazines; reprinted as part of the collection The Shadowy Third (1923).
