ISBN10: 080283938X, ISBN13: 9780802839381, [publisher: William B Eerdmans Publishing Co, Cambridge, UK] Hardcover The book and jacket are in very good condition, minor shelf rubbing. Text inside appears clean and clear throughout. 'Ancestral Shadows collects nineteen of Kirk's best ghostly tales from periodicals and anthologies published throughout his life. In the tradition of Defoe, Stevenson, Hawthorne, Coleridge, Poe, and other master writers, these frightful stories conjure the creaks and shadows of the very places where they came to life through Kirk's pen: haunted St. Andrews, the Isle of Eigg, Kellie Castle, Balcarres House, Durie House ("which has the most persistent of all country-house specters"), and Kirk's own ancestral spooky house in Mecosta, Michigan. The volume ends with "A Cautionary Note on the Ghostly Tale," an incisive piece in which Kirk reflects on why he writes such stories." All important literature has some ethical end," Kirk says, "and the tale of the preternatural as written by George Macdonald, C. S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and other masters can be an instrument for the recovery of moral order."' xvii+406 pages. 6.25 x 9.25 inches. May require additional postage.
