Edith Wharton wrote several ghost stories in the early twentieth century. Today\\u2019s story was first published in 1914. She believed a good supernatural tale should, \\u201c send a cold shiver down one\\u2019s spine\\u201d, but not resort to conventional descriptions of ghosts and similar spirits. In this way she is similar to her contemporary and friend, Henry James.\\xa0

The craft of the Victorian Ghost Story is evident in the subtle way the atmosphere is crafted, and the suspense gently builds. Notice how Mr. Lavington is described. His smile is fixed on his face. \\u201cHis intense personality has permeated every corner of his dwelling, in an occult way.\\u201d It\\u2019s one of those stories you want to listen to again once you\\u2019re done, to see what you missed. I hope you like it.\\xa0

And now, The Triumph of Night, by Edith Wharton.
