Mrs. Zant and the Ghost ('The Ghost's Touch') (Fantasy and Horror Classics)

By Wilkie Collins

Book Overview

From the mind of Wilkie Collins, the legendary Victorian author and master of the sensation novel, comes a gripping tale that blends chilling supernatural visitation with psychological suspense.

Mrs. Zant and the Ghost (also published as The Ghost's Touch) follows a widow haunted not by grief, but by a terrifying protective presence. Mrs. Zant is haunted by the spectral figure of her first husband, who suffered a mysterious and sudden death. The ghost returns with a chilling purpose: to issue a desperate warning. His presence is often manifested by a cold, phantom touch: a spectral warning directed toward her current circumstances and the sinister intentions of her second, seemingly devoted husband.

This story is a unique and intense blend of the classic Victorian ghost story and the domestic crime thriller. It is essential reading for fans of classic mystery fiction and those who enjoy a plot where the supernatural intervenes to expose human evil.
