Tales of Men and Ghosts Audiobook
Sale Starts:
Edith Wharton delivers gripping psychological tension and sharp social observation in Tales of Men and Ghosts, a compelling collection of short stories that delve into the uncanny and the morally complex. She crafts each narrative with vivid detail and active voice, immersing readers in eerie encounters and the psychological undercurrents of upper-class life.
Description
Tales of Men and Ghosts blends literary fiction with elements of the supernatural and gothic. The collection includes ten stories that navigate themes of obsession, guilt, ambition, and the unseen forces that influence human behavior. Wharton doesn’t rely on overt horror or grotesque imagery; instead, she builds subtle unease through atmosphere, character development, and moral ambiguity.
Though the book falls within the ghost story genre, it avoids traditional tropes in favor of psychological realism. Stories like “The Eyes” and “Afterward” explore spectral visitations not just as supernatural phenomena but as manifestations of conscience and consequence. Other tales, such as “The Bolted Door” and “The Blond Beast,” reflect Wharton’s satirical edge, critiquing vanity, pride, and societal hypocrisy. Each story stands alone, yet together they form a haunting portrait of early 20th-century anxieties.
