Ephemera on Edward Bulwer-Lytton's Ghost Stories

 

Edward Bulwer-Lytton

Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1803-1873) is known in supernatural circles for penning one of the greatest ghost stories of the nineteenth century, "The Haunted and Haunters." It was published in 1857 and is included in Phantasms: Best Ghost Short Stories 1850-1899. H.P. Lovecraft called it "one of the best short haunted house tales ever." But enough about "The Haunted and Haunters."

Bulwer-Lytton's second best ghost story is Monos and Daimonos. It was published in 1830. The horror story involves a shipwreck, a murder and . . . well . . . a relentless ghost set out for revenge. I hope you enjoy it! The Best Ghost Stories 1800-1849: A Classic Ghost Anthology.
