The Canterville Ghost

by Oscar Wilde

Genres: Literary Fiction

Synopsis

The Canterville Ghost is a humorous ghost story by Oscar Wilde. Canterville Chase had all the bits and pieces of a customary haunted house. Sketches of the wainscoting, the library panelled in black oak, and the armour in the hallway portray the setting as we are presented with the ghost itself. A work that mixes the ghastly with comedy, contrasting devices abound such as creaking floorboards, clanking chains, and ancient divinations...A classic where the horror elements are defused with wonderful humour and intellect!
