The Canterville Ghost
By Oscar Wilde
- Release Date: 1944-01-01
- Genre: Horror, Monsters & Ghosts
Description
A terrifying ghost is haunting the ancient mansion of Canterville Chase, complete with creaking floorboards, clanking chains and gruesome disguises - but the new occupants seem strangely undisturbed by his presence. Deftly contrasting the conventional gothic ghost story with the pragmatism of the modern world, Wilde creates a gently comic fable of the conflict between old and new. Rupert Degas' hilarious reading brings the absurdity and theatricality of the story to life.

4By AndiminiusBeware the illustrations and their captions! At times they appeared before their respective parts in the story and gave it away when read on my iPhone 8. Otherwise it is a nice story told with interesting perspective read in less than an evening’s time.The Canterville Ghost

5By LapisLazuli43Absolutely hilarious. It's a ghost story that not only makes fun of itself but we Americans as well--and it's not at all scary. VERY fun to read.The Canterville Ghost
