One Thousand and One Ghosts

by Alexandre Dumas

First published 1881

When a celebrated author is invited to a country estate for a hunting party, he and his friends regale each other with chilling supernatural tales. From a haunting at a remote chateau to a ghostly encounter on a moonlit road, each story reveals the darkness that lurks just beyond the veil of the everyday. As the night goes on, the tellers begin to question the line between the living and the dead - and whether some secrets are better left untold.
