Here are the stories behind some of the best-known among them, as well as the lesser-known—though no less powerful. A Haunted History of Invisible Women offers a unique lens on the role these ghostly legends play both within the spook-seeking corners of our minds and in the consciousness of a nation.

She didn't seem too happy about me just springing things on her but I'd fantasized for a long time about being with a woman and I wasn't missing the opportunity.

Catherine Morland ist jung, doch weder hübsch noch vermögend. Männern gegenüber scheu, entwickelt sie erst langsam ihre besondere Anziehungskraft, die das andere Geschlecht bezaubert. Als Satire auf den Schauerroman gedacht, zeigt das Buch Jane Austen auf der Höhe ihrer Kunst. Von scharfer Zunge, aber zärtlichem Herzen, zündet die Autorin ein Feuerwerk an Pointen.
