| Summary | "The Haunters & The Haunted" by Ernest Rhys is a collection of ghost stories and tales of the supernatural, edited and introduced by the author in the early 20th century. This anthology brings together a variety of classic and lesser-known ghost stories that explore themes of haunting and the paranormal, drawing from literary sources, folklore, and legend. The collection is aimed at readers interested in eerie tales that delve into the unknown aspects of human experience, presenting a rich tapestry of supernatural narratives. The opening of this anthology begins with a foreword that sets the stage for the ensuing stories, illustrating the complexity and temptation of the supernatural in literature. It discusses how the challenge of conveying haunted experiences has inspired writers throughout history to explore the emotional depths and psychological impact of such encounters. Following this introduction, the anthology starts with Edgar Allan Poe's infamous "The Fall of the House of Usher," recounting the story of a melancholic mansion and its inhabitants, Roderick and Madeline Usher, whose fates are intertwined with their ancestral home in a tragic exploration of fear and despair. As the narrative unfolds, the reader is drawn into a world where the line between the living and the spectral blurs, providing a glimpse into the chilling experiences that define this collection.
