A new edition of these four subtly devised ghost stories: Amour dure, Dionea, Oke of Okehurst, and A wicked voice. The first tale is in diary form and tells of the tragic adventures of a German professor in Umbria, the second is the story of a beautiful sea waif who brings ruin to all who cross her path, the third has an English setting but it also has a phantom lover and a family superstition, while the fourth is the story of a musician who hears a voice from the past with disastrous results.
“These four curiously interesting stories have a weird fascination quite unlike any others of their order.”
