An anthology of short stories written from the late 19th to the early 20th century, imbued with the chilling aura left by the supernatural when it comes into contact with the earthly world.
Thirteen ghost stories, thirteen narratives dealing with the timeless issue of return from the beyond, featuring spirits wandering the world of the living – sometimes bound by curses, sometimes seeking revenge, and sometimes driven by love and affection.
From the ethnographic work of Alexandros Papadiamantis to the aestheticism of Nikolaos Episkopopoulos, and from the cosmopolitan Alexandria of C.P. Cavafy to the Greek countryside of Menos Filentas, a collection of ghost stories aiming to highlight the timeless relationship of Greek literature with the fantastic and the uncanny.
The book includes 13 short stories by: Angelos Kosmi, Alexandros Moraitidis, Menos Filentas, Alexandros Papadiamantis, Angelos Tanagras, Andreas Karkavitsas, Demosthenes Voutyras, Konstantinos P. Cavafy, Babis Anninos, Napoleontas Lapathiotis, Andreas Avouris, Alexandros Polychronakis, and Nikolaos Episkopopoulos.
