Joseph Conrad once said of his friend Henry James, Â“As is meet for a man of his descent and tradition, Mr. James is the historian of fine consciences.â€ As it turns out, James was also incredibly gifted at writing exceptional ghost stories. This collectionÂ—including Â“The Beast in the Jungleâ€ and Â“The Jolly Cornerâ€Â—features Jamesâ€™s finest supernatural tales, along with criticism, a discussion of the legacies of Jamesâ€™s writing, and provocative study questions.
