Here are the outstanding works of one of America's most gifted writers, the author of some of the loveliest romantic prose written in the English Language. Included are three complete books: Kwaidan, the eerie and chilling weird tales and legends of Japanese life; Some Chinese Ghosts, tales of the macabre and spirit world; and Chita, a gripping novelette of life on the Gulf Coast. Here are stories of life in New Orleans, Cinncinnati, and his famous Caribbean sketches. William Lyon Phelps has said: "There is not a single slovenly or carelessly made paragraph. If we had only this, we should know that the author was an original genius."
