They Return at Evening
by H. Russell Wakefield
On This Page
Description
The decomposing ghost of a murdered wife; the spectre of a dog, which answers to the most terrifying of whistles; evil in the tradition of M.R. James's 'Casting the Runes', as a lawyer seeks to avenge the death of a friend . . . These, and many more, are the ghosts which H.R. Wakefield set to haunt us in his first book of supernatural stories, a landmark collection since 1928.Tags

"H. R. Wakefield, in They Return at Evening (a good title) gives us a mixed bag, from which I should remove one or two that leave a nasty taste. Among the residue are some admirable pieces, very inventive." In "Some Remarks on Ghost Stories" in The Bookman (December 1929)
