I'll have to find this collection by Wharton. Sounds like fun, and that cat wow how funny! although, probably wasn't at the time, huh....Rebecca Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06062252252301802298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-43460151000967840222011-11-06T12:04:03.889-05:002011-11-06T12:04:03.889-05:00I really like Wharton's stories, this is a goo...I really like Wharton's stories, this is a good collection. I don't remember being particularly scared by any of them. I remember Kerfol being a favorite, and Afterward was pretty good too.<br /><br />I haven't read any Wharton in awhile and I'm starting to miss her -- she's one of my favorites too.

I would have turned on every light in the house and watched cartoons for an hour. <br />I'm not a big fan of ghost stories- I'm the kind of person who gets scared easily- but if they're more creepy than scary then they might be worth a shot.<br />Anyway, have better dreams!Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12456284399025708010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-54321577622572185582011-10-31T21:35:25.618-04:002011-10-31T21:35:25.618-04:00I've never read anything by this author before...I've never read anything by this author before, but I do have <i>The House of Mirth</i> that I picked up at a library sale waiting on the shelf to be read.

Although, those eyes do sound terribly creepy! And of course, waking up to "eyes" after reading a story like that--yeah, that would frighten me, too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-69322619649645477472011-10-31T18:08:37.117-04:002011-10-31T18:08:37.117-04:00I forget who all was involved but there was a disc...I forget who all was involved but there was a discussion a couple of years back about The Lady's Maid's Bell. There was much confusion in the group! I'll have to look for The Eyes (sorry, I couldn't think of any other way to say that!). I wonder if it's in any of my anthologies. I'll lock the cats up though. ;)Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-48523993219724500092011-10-31T11:55:53.654-04:002011-10-31T11:55:53.654-04:00Giant eyes watching you sleep?!
