The tales lean toward the supernatural and domestic melodrama, exploring jealousy, guilt, and the persistence of wronged affections beyond the grave. Early standouts feature a complacent publisher haunted by a former lover he mistreated, and a London doctor whose rural retreat turns into a study in uncanny repetition and family tragedy.  The opening of this collection follows Mr. Sigismund Braggett, a newly married publisher who once encouraged the hopes of an eager “authoress,” Charlotte Cray. After Charlotte dies, Braggett’s clerks, his household, and finally his wife encounter her presence; the apparition appears in his office before dissolving, prompting him to abandon business, knowing Charlotte has kept her vow to “see” his wife. The next story begins with a physician seeking rest at the isolated Rushmere, where he, his wife Jane, and their servants hear creeping footsteps, sobs, and the phantom crack of a gun; terror drives them to an inn. There, the landlord’s wife reveals the house’s past: an asthmatic master, Greenslade, shot his estranged daughter Emily on the stairs and hanged himself, and the nightly sounds are the fatal scene replaying itself.
