Description
The Triumph of Night: The Triumph of Night was first published in 1914, and was one of a number of ghost stories written by Edith Wharton in the first part of the twentieth century. She believed that a tale of the supernatural should have the ability to ‘send a cold shiver down one’s spine’, but she did not resort to conventional depictions of ghosts and the spirit world. Instead, she believed in evoking states of psychological mystery and terror – rather like her friend and fellow novelist Henry James, who shared her interest in supernatural stories.
Xingu: Xingu first appeared in the Scribner’s Magazine for December 1911. The story was subsequently included in Edith Wharton’s collection of short fiction, Xingu and Other Stories published in 1910. It is one of her most popular and most frequently anthologised stories – with good reason, because it’s very funny.
Kerfol: Kerfol first appeared in the Scribner’s Magazine number 59 for March 1916. The story was included in the collection Xingu and Other Stories published in New York by Charles Scribner’s Sons in 1916 and was one of a number of ghost stories.
