Description & Overview
Return to the India of the British Raj, where the fog rolls off the hills and the dead do not always stay buried. This volume presents the complete, unabridged original text of Rudyard Kipling's 1888 collection of ghost stories, featuring the famous title tale of Jack Pansay and the spectral rickshaw that haunts him, alongside 'The Strange Ride of Morrowbie Jukes,' 'The Man Who Would Be King,' and 'Without Benefit of Clergy.' A new introduction places these tales in the context of Kipling's early career and the Victorian fascination with the supernatural, while reader's notes illuminate the language, settings, and customs of Anglo-India. Written with Kipling's characteristic economy and his uncanny instinct for dread, these stories have unsettled readers for more than a century—and this edition restores every line of the original.
