'Stories in Grey' Summary
The stories in this collection explore a variety of themes, from the eerie and the supernatural to the psychological and the macabre. In 'The House of the Strange Woman,' a man inherits a house from a distant relative and discovers that the house is haunted by the ghost of a woman who died tragically. In 'The Man Who Was Afraid of the Dark,' a man's fear of the dark leads him to increasingly isolated and desperate measures.
