A Haunted House Collection

A Haunted House is a 1944 collection of 18 short stories by Virginia Woolf offering a modern take on the genre of the ghost stories itself. Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) was an English writer, and one of the foremost modernists of the twentieth century. During the interwar period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a central figure in the influential Bloomsbury Group of intellectuals. Her most famous works include the novels Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927) and Orlando (1928), and the book-length essay A Room of One's Own (1929), with its famous dictum, «A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.»
