H. R. Wakefield was one of the most popular ghost-story writers of the early 20th century. 'The Red Lodge' is arguably his greatest tale, and a classic of the haunted house genre. Many of the earliest ghost stories and tales of hauntings, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. An artist, his wife and their young son rent a place for a long vacation where they begin to feel a dark presence. Their son sees a “green monkey” in the nearby river that terrifies him, the wife glimpses people in the house where there should be none, and the husband senses three evil specters psychically tugging at him to open a window at night to look upon them. This is a wonderfully atmospheric ghost story filled with dread for the evil that infects the lodge. A true classic!
