"Edith Nesbits (1858-1924) spökhistorier måste betraktas som något av det bästa i genren än idag /.../ Föreliggande samling innehåller fyra mycket välskrivna noveller, som alla kretsar kring märkliga händelser med dödlig utgång." BTJ om Skuggan (häfte 2024:10)I novellen Skuggan samlas en grupp flickor en sen kväll för att berätta spökhistorier för varandra, men det är hushållerskan, miss Eastwich, som kommer med det märkligaste bidraget. Hon berättar om ett besök hon en gång gjorde hos sin ungdomskärlek, en man som blivit övertygad om att ett ont väsen finns i huset och förföljer hans hustru. Ska miss Eastwich få uppleva samma hemskheter som han under sitt besök? Eller har han blivit galen?Med sin på samma gång lättillgängliga och djuplodande stil har den brittiska författaren Edith Nesbit (1858-1924) skrivit flera barnböcker som blivit tidlösa klassiker, bland annat Järnvägsbarnen och Huset Ardens gåta. Hon har även skrivit böcker för äldre läsare, och i denna volym samlas några av hennes mest välkända skräckberättelser. Förutom "Skuggan" ingår även "Mörkret", "Nummer 17" och "Mysteriet med parhuset".
