An unsettling new collection of Henry James''s best short stories exploring ghosts and the uncanny ''There had been a moment when I believed I recognised, faint and far, the cry of a child; there had been another when I found myself just consciously starting as at the passage, before my door, of a light footstep'' ''I see ghosts everywhere'', wrote Henry James, who retained a fascination with the supernatural and sensational throughout his writing career.

The other masterly works here include ''The Jolly Corner'', ''Owen Wingrave'' and further tales of visitations, premonitions, madness, grief and family secrets, where the living are just as mysterious and unknowable as the dead.

Reflections in a Golden Eye - Carson Mccullers - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Reflections in a Golden Eye - Carson Mccullers - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''A masterpiece . . . as mature and finished as Henry James''s The Turn of the Screw'' Time Set on a Southern army base in the 1930s, Reflections in a Golden Eye tells the story of Captain Penderton, a bisexual whose life is upset by the arrival of Major Langdon, a charming womanizer who has an affair with Penderton''s tempestuous and flirtatious wife, Leonora. Upon the novel''s publication in 1941, reviewers were unsure of what to make of its relatively scandalous subject matter. But a critic for Time magazine wrote, "In almost any hands, such material would yield a rank fruitcake of mere arty melodrama. But Carson McCullers tells her tale with simplicity, insight, and a rare gift of phrase." Written during a time when McCullers''s own marriage to Reeves was on the brink of collapse
