A collection of haunting--and hilarious--ghost stories by the beloved Booker Prize finalist and New York Times-bestselling author.

Robertson Davies first hit upon the notion of writing ghost stories when he joined the University of Toronto as the first Master of Massey College. Wishing to provide entertainment at the College's Gaudy Night, the annual Christmas party, Professor Davies created a spooky story, which he read aloud to the gathering. That story, Revelation from a Smoky Fire, is the first in this wonderful, haunting collection.

A tradition quickly became established and, for eighteen years, Davies delighted and amused the Gaudy Night guests with his tales of the supernatural. Here, gathered together in one volume, are those eighteen stories, just as Davies first read them.
