Description

Phil, my dear boy, really — what s the matter? Why don t you answer? Have you seen the eyes?

An older gentleman invites a group of friends over for dinner and to discuss the supernatural. Afterwards, when only two guests remain, he tells them a story about The Eyes, about a man who is repeatedly haunted at night by a pair of grotesque eyes floating over the foot of his bed.

The Eyes is a short, sharp read that slowly enters your psyche and leaves you with a paragraph that may haunt you forever, because it s not about ghosts at all… Elegantly eerie and similarily atmospheric, this Edith Wharton story makes a great companion to Henry James The Turn of the Screw (1898).
