The Wind in the Rose-Bush, and Other Stories of the Supernatural
'The Wind in the Rose-Bush, and Other Stories of the Supernatural' Summary
The Wind in the Rose-Bush, and Other Stories of the Supernatural is a collection of 10 short stories by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, first published in 1903. The stories are set in rural New England, and they feature ordinary people who are confronted with the supernatural.
The title story, "The Wind in the Rose-Bush," tells the tale of a young woman named Ellen who hears the wind whispering in the rose-bushes. She is convinced that it is the voice of her dead lover, who is calling to her from beyond the grave. Ellen's story is a moving exploration of love, loss, and the power of the human spirit.
In another story, "The Shadows on the Wall," a woman named Mrs. White is haunted by the ghost of her grandmother. The grandmother appears to Mrs. White in a series of visions, warning her of a terrible danger. Mrs. White's story is a cautionary tale about the importance of listening to our intuition.
The third story in the collection, "Luella Miller," is a dark and suspenseful tale about a woman who is possessed by the spirit of a dead woman. Luella Miller is a manipulative and dangerous woman who will stop at nothing to get what she wants. Her story is a reminder that evil can sometimes exist in the most unexpected places.
The other stories in the collection are equally well-written and suspenseful. Freeman's stories are known for their realistic characters and their understated, yet effective, use of suspense. She creates a sense of dread and foreboding that builds throughout the stories, until the final, shocking twist.
The Wind in the Rose-Bush, and Other Stories of the Supernatural is a classic collection of supernatural tales that will stay with you long after you finish reading them. If you are a fan of the supernatural, then you will love this book.
