The Beast in the Jungle (version 2)
by Henry JAMES (1843 - 1916)Chapter Three
One of James's last great stories, it is not actually a ghost story but has every claim to be considered such with its mysterious spectral essences surviving death and summoning the central character towards - well, what, exactly? That query is of the very essence of the story; and when the Beast finally does pounce out of the hidden Jungle in which it had hitherto so spectrally lurked, you (and he, the central male) might well find yourself startled by its name. - Summary by Tony Addison
