The Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Age of Innocence explores the supernatural and other unknowns in six short stories.


The acclaimed Gilded Age author travels around the world and into the unknown with these six tales.


After recovering from a bad fever in a Swiss sanitorium, an American pays a social call to a friend's lonely sister on the coast of Brittany, but his journey takes a terrifying turn in "Miss Mary Pask."


A wealthy resident of a small Massachusetts town hides a sinister secret inside his home and it's piqued the interest of his neighbors in "The Young Gentlemen."


A Massachusetts farmer's wife calls in help when her husband is visited by his dead ex-lover in "Bewitched."


Death, doubt, and distrust blossom in the deserts of Morocco at an American Baptist mission in "The Seed of Faith."


An American author working on his next book heads to Paris to speak with his subject's late wife in "The Temperate Zone."


Recovering from serious illness, an American professor heads to the south of France, searching for quiet and seclusion in "Velvet Ear-Pads."


Inspired by the author's own global travels, Here and Beyond is a mix of ghost stories, character studies, and social drama. It was originally published in 1926.

Edith Wharton

Edith Wharton (1862-1937) was a brilliant, clever American writer known for such works as The House of Mirth and Ethan Frome. She became the first woman to win a Pulitzer when she was awarded the 1921 Prize for her novel The Age of Innocence.

A member of the New York elite, Wharton funnelled her experiences into vivid portrayals and critiques of high society, while deftly exposing the painful tension between personal desires and societal norms. Wharton died in Paris in 1937 at the age of 75, having written 85 short stories, 16 novels, 11 works of nonfiction, and 3 books of poetry.
