Formats & Editions

It began shortly after the party at which one of their members, Edward Wanderley, had died or was killed. The Chowder Society, who for years had met in customary evening dress with the object of telling each other tales of every kind, now found themselves drawn towards the supernatural. It was some sort of solace for Edwards loss. They began to tell ghost stories, extraordinary ghost stories...ghost stories that did not always stop when the teller finished speaking...
