The title story offers a petrifying account of an English cleric's bouts with a malignant spectral presence; ""Squire Toby's Will"" recounts a sibling rivalry and disputed inheritance; ""The Fortunes of Sir Robert Ardagh"" concerns a country gentleman's mysterious relationship with a sinister valet; and ""Sir Dominick's Bargain"" presents LeFanu's masterly variation on the theme of a pact with the devil.All four tales embody not only the suspense and terror expected of a ghost story but also a subtlety, awareness, and psychological depth that elevate them far above most efforts in the genre.
