Description

The dead children call from spaces between memory and madness.

In these two chilling tales from gothic master Mary E. Wilkins, childhood innocence becomes a weapon against the living. When the boundary between grief and haunting dissolves, ordinary homes transform into psychological battlegrounds where the past refuses to stay buried.

Some ghosts are too young to understand they’re dead. Others are too angry to care.

A chilling double feature of supernatural suspense!

Step into the eerie world of Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, a master of gothic storytelling, with Ghost Children: Two Gothic Haunts. This haunting collection brings together two of her most unsettling tales—The Lost Ghost (1903) and The Wind in the Rose-Bush (1902)—where spectral children roam freely, defying the boundaries between the living and the dead.

What’s Inside?

The Lost Ghost – A tale of a ghostly child who lingers in the shadows, waiting for someone to follow her into the unknown.
The Wind in the Rose-Bush – A spectral presence haunts a stepmother, leaving her to question whether the child she mistreated has truly vanished—or if she lingers with a vengeful purpose.
