Reseña del editor:

I do not believe in ghosts. I have a certain respect for them, as they have never offered me any affront, either by appearing to me or otherwise maltreating me. But Marian, who like many of her sex seemed to consort naturally with banshees, bogies, apparitions, and the like, declared to me that at several different times this ghost had presented itself to her, startling her on two occasions. On the second occasion, she fled along the kitchen hall, shrieking piteously.

The phantom was clad all in a livid blue flame from top to toe, she said, and a banner of red sarcenet that streamed out behind like forked lightning. This malevolent spirit had struck her with its blazing hand.

Biografía del autor:

Princess Amélie Louise Rives Troubetzkoy (1863 - 1945) was an American novelist, poet and playwright. Nothing that she ever wrote created the sensation of The Quick or the Dead?, her first novel, which appeared in 1888. It was her most famous and popular work, which sold 300,000 copies. Her 1914 novel, World's End was reputed to be "the best seller in New York City." That she was a genius could not be denied, but she was also morbidly sensitive. She was characterized as a woman of moods and fancies, but in manner as simple as a child.
