About the Author:
Robert Phillips is the author and editor of more than 25 books, and has written for the New York Times, the New Yorker and the Paris Review.
From Library Journal:
Author/editor Phillips jumps on the fin-de-si?cle bandwagon with this offering of 27 paranormal tales. Created as a companion to his earlier collection, The Omnibus of 20th Century Ghost Stories (Carroll & Graf, 1991), this volume continues to display Phillips's high literary standards. Classics by Henry James, Rudyard Kipling, and Edith Wharton are included, as are stories like Elizabeth Bowen's "The Happy Autumn Fields," all considered to be among the authors' best writings. This collection has a broader scope than its predecessor, marked by the inclusion of noted world writers such as Isak Dinesen, Franz Kafka, and Gabriel Garc!a M rquez, and the contemporary voices of Christopher Tilghman and Max Eberts. But for those who truly enjoy a good ghost story, the basis for this collection's intrigue will be the variety of spectersAvisible and invisible, symbolic and concreteAthat are presented. A solid addition to most libraries.ANancy McNicol, Hagaman Memorial Lib., East Haven, CT
