About
'Humorous Ghost Stories', compiled and edited by Dorothy Scarborough, is a collection of ghostly tales that will both amuse and entertain. From Oscar Wilde's humorous story of a haunted mansion to Théophile Gautier's tale of a cursed mummy, these stories offer a glimpse into the fears and superstitions of the turn of the century. Some are laugh-out-loud funny, while others are more suspenseful, but all offer a unique take on the supernatural.
