"The Jolly Corner," published in 1908, is considered by many to be a ghost story ranking second only to "The Turn of the Screw." James’s protagonist, Spencer Brydon, is an American of 56, returned to New York after 33 years in Europe, where he has apparently accomplished little while living off his New York rentals. His friendship with Alice Staverton, and his engagement in the development of a property awaken him to the possibilities that might have been his, had he chosen a different course of life. The "ghost," if that’s what it is, is that other self that might have been, and his confrontation with that self and its possibilities leads to a deeply unsettling, yet ambiguous, conclusion.

The Lifted Veil is a novella by George Eliot, first published in 1859. Quite unlike the realistic fiction for which Eliot is best known, The Lifted Veil explores themes of extrasensory perception, the essence of physical life, possible life after death, and the power of fate.

“Would Julia of Strobazzo’s heart was reeking on my dagger!”
From the asthmatic urgency of its opening abduction scene to the Satanic defiance of the villain’s departure “with a wild convulsive laugh of exulting revenge”, this first of Shelley’s Gothic novelettes recycles much sensational boyhood reading and also points to some of his more mature concerns.
It is the ego-driven pursuit of passionate extremes, revenge included, which consigns figures like Zastrozzi and the murderous Matilda to an isolation which is socially destructive as well as self-annihilating. The story of their downfall is related in a relentlessly hysterical style – possibly more easily enjoyed when read aloud! (Summary by Martin Geeson)

They proved immensely popular and were compiled into books published in 1840, 1842 and 1847 by Richard Bentley. They remained popular through the Victorian era but have since fallen out of fame.

Trilby, published in 1894, fits into the gothic horror genre which was undergoing a revival during the Fin de siècle and is one of the most popular novels of its time, perhaps the second best selling novel of the Fin de siècle period after Bram Stoker's Dracula. The story of the poor artist's model Trilby O'Ferrall, transformed into a diva under the spell of the evil musical genius Svengali, created a sensation. Soap, songs, dances, toothpaste, and Trilby, Florida were all named for the heroine, and a variety of soft felt hat with an indented crown (worn in the London stage production of a dramatization of the novel) came to be called a trilby.

"The Great God Pan" is a novella written by Arthur Machen. A version of the story was published in the magazine Whirlwind in 1890, and Machen revised and extended it for its book publication (together with another story, "The Inmost Light") in 1894. On publication it was widely denounced by the press as degenerate and horrific because of its decadent style and sexual content, although it has since garnered a reputation as a classic of horror. Machen’s story was only one of many at the time to focus on Pan as a useful symbol for the power of nature and paganism. The title was taken from the poem "A Musical Instrument" published in 1862 by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, in which the first line of every stanza ends "... the great god Pan."

John Polidori war der Leibarzt von Lord Byron und begleitete ihn auf einer Reise durch Europa. Am Genfer See lernten sie Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Shelley (Geburtsname Mary Godwin) und deren Stiefschwester Claire Clairmont kennen. Man vertrieb sich die Zeit mit Gesprächen über Galvanismus und über die Möglichkeit, künstliches Leben zu schaffen. Vor dem Kaminfeuer las man sich nachts gegenseitig Schauergeschichten vor. Lord Byron schlug schließlich vor, dass jeder eine eigene Schauergeschichte zur Unterhaltung beisteuern solle. Mary Shelley entwarf daraufhin die Geschichte von "Frankenstein oder Der moderne Prometheus". Lord Byron begann eine Geschichte, die Polidori später als Basis seiner eigenen Erzählung "The Vampyre" aufgriff und weiter ausbaute. Mit dieser schuf Polidori nicht nur die erste Vampirerzählung der Weltliteratur, sondern begründete mit der Figur des Lord Ruthven den Typus des modernen Vampirs. Dieser prägt das Genre bis heute.
Die Erzählung wurde auf Grund eines Verlagsirrtums lange Lord Byron zugeschrieben.

The setting, geography and history of this story by Rev'd Sabine Baring-Gould, author of Onward Christian Soldiers and a number of other well-known hymns, are all accurate, or at least as accurate as local lore will allow. Kinver has long been a midlands beauty spot, and the UK National Trust own and open one of the rock-dwellings mentioned. The 'Stewponey' too was an inn until a year or two into the twenty-first century: http://www.blackcountrybugle.co.uk/News/Reminder-of-the-heyday-of-the-old-Stewponey-2.htm - the present reader having stopped there for a drink and a meal many times.

Onions wrote several collections of ghost stories, of which the best known is Widdershins (1911). It includes the novella The Beckoning Fair One, widely regarded as one of the best in the genre of horror fiction, especially psychological horror. On the surface, this is a conventional haunted house story: an unsuccessful writer moves into rooms in an otherwise empty house, in the hope that isolation will help his failing creativity. His sensitivity and imagination are enhanced by his seclusion, but his art, his only friend and his sanity are all destroyed in the process. The story can be read as narrating the gradual possession of the protagonist by a mysterious and possessive feminine spirit, or as a realistic description of a psychotic outbreak culminating in catatonia and murder, told from the sufferer's point of view. The precise description of the slow disintegration of the protagonist's mind is terrifying in either case. Another theme, shared with others of Onions' stories, is a connection between creativity and insanity; in this view, the artist is in danger of withdrawing from the world altogether and losing himself in his creation.

Frankenstein begins in epistolary form, documenting the correspondence between Captain Robert Walton and his sister, Margaret Walton Saville. Walton sets out to explore the North Pole and expand his scientific knowledge in hopes of achieving fame and friendship. The ship becomes trapped in ice, and, one day, the crew sees a dog sled in the distance, on which there is the figure of a giant man. Hours later, the crew finds a frozen and emaciated man, Victor Frankenstein, in desperate need of sustenance.

He had broken apart his dog sled to make oars and rowed an ice-raft toward the vessel. Frankenstein starts to recover from his exertion and recounts his story to Walton. Before beginning his story, Frankenstein warns Walton of the wretched effects of allowing ambition to push one to aim beyond what one is capable of achieving. In telling his story to the captain, Frankenstein finds peace within himself. (Introduction by Wikipedia)

Henry James wrote a number of ghost stories -- The Turn of the Screw being the most famous. Did he believe in ghosts himself, as did many of his contemporaries? It's generally possible to find earthly interpretations, Freudian and other, for his ghosts. Sir Edmund Orme, though, is unquestionably a real ghost -- except of course that James's unnamed narrator tells the story in the voice of yet a third man, and the narrator himself passes no judgments on the factual nature of what he is reporting (there's a resemblance here to The Turn of the Screw). The story has to do with two love affairs in two generations, and Sir Edmund, real or imagined, plays a role in each. In the end, then, it's still up to the reader to decide on the nature of the ghost, whether he's real or imagined. James gives you no clear answer.(Introduction by Nicholas Clifford))

De toutes les erreurs populaires, la croyance au vampirisme est à coup sûr la plus absurde; je ne sais même si elle ne l'est pas plus que les contes de revenans.Les vampires ne furent guère connus que vers le dix-huitième siècle. La Valachie, la Hongrie, la Pologne, la Russie, furent leurs berceaux. Voltaire, dans son Dictionnaire philosophique, nous dit: «On n'entendit parler que de vampires depuis 1730 jusqu'en 1735; on les guetta, on leur arracha le coeur, on les brûla: ils ressemblaient aux anciens martyrs; plus on en brûlait, plus il s'en trouvait.»Il est étonnant que des être raisonnables aient pu croire si longtems que des morts sortaient la nuit des cimetières pour aller sucer le sang des vivans, et que ces mêmes morts retournaient ensuite dans leurs cercueils. Nous pouvons certifier cependant que des gens de mérite y ont cru, et que l'autorité elle-même a servi à propager de semblables absurdités. Nous engageons nos lecteurs à se défier de ces récits ainsi que des prétendues histoires de revenans, de sorciers, de diables, etc. Tout ce qu'on peut dire et écrire sur ce sujet, n'a aucune authenticité et ne mérite aucune croyance. Nous avons tiré plusieurs contes de différens auteurs: Langlet-Dufresnois, les Mille et un Jour, dom Calmet, etc., nous en ont fourni.Un grand nombre sont de notre imagination, et si nous n'en citons pas les auteurs en particulier, c'est que cela aurait entraîné à trop de longueurs. Au surplus, si le vampirisme ne date que d'un siècle à-peu-près, la croyance aux revenans, aux sorciers, etc., date, je crois, depuis la création du monde, sans que personne de bon sens, puisse assurer en avoir vu ou connu. (Avertissement au lecteur, par Charles Nodier)
