Summary "Border Ghost Stories" by Howard Pease is a collection of ghost stories written in the early 20th century. The tales draw upon folklore and legends from the borderlands of England and Scotland, particularly focusing on the eerie and supernatural elements that surround historical figures and locations, like Sir Walter Scott and the haunting stories that permeate the landscape of the Border regions. The opening of the work presents a preface that sets the stage for the ghostly tales to follow, invoking the essence of storytelling as influenced by the landscape itself. Pease suggests that certain locations are steeped in stories and that ghosts may linger as remnants of past narratives. The text introduces a rich tapestry of characters, including a nervous apprentice who finds himself entangled in a dark and menacing atmosphere while navigating his relationship with his uncle and the various mysteries surrounding their lives. As the narrative unfolds, the reader is led into a world where uncertainty and the supernatural intersect, paving the way for chilling tales rooted deeply in the eerie charm of the Borderlands.
