The Shell Of Sense: Complete Ghost Stories.
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
Gorgeously illustrated by Wendy Wees, the result is a book of unusually refined physical appearance. Edited with an Introductory essay by Jessica Amanda Salmonson, Olivia Howard Dunbar's ghost stories were never previously gathered into one place. Her tales though American are reminiscent of such Brits as Oliver Onions and May Sinclair, due to their psychological depth. The tales are "The Long Chamber" "The Sycamore" "The Dream Baby" and "The Shell of Sense." Additionally, there are two related essays by Dunbar. One is on the nature of ghost literature, "The Decay of the Ghost in Fiction" which she wrote before writing any of her own, and that essay serves as an Author's Preface. The other is "The Present Status of the Ghost" about persisting belief in them, serving as Author's Afterword. HB with DJ. DJ slightly dented around the top. The boards are in very good condition with a slight dent at the bottom of the spine. Internally the pages are clean and unmarked.
