They Return at Evening

H R Wakefield presents a collection of thirteen ghost stories in They Return at Evening. Originally published in 1928, these tales helped shape modern supernatural fiction by moving beyond traditional Victorian ghosts. The author employs a refined and chilling style to depict a psychological form of horror that feels quiet, civilized, and deeply unsettling. This volume balances eerie understatement with sudden shocks across various settings. Readers will encounter cursed houses, haunted golf courses, and spectral telephones within these pages. The collection includes stories now regarded as classics of the genre. Wakefield demonstrates his qualification through works like The Red Lodge and He Cometh and He Passeth By. Another notable entry is The Seventeenth Hole at Duncaster. These narratives draw on early twentieth-century traditions while establishing a new standard for the supernatural. The book suits readers who appreciate subtle dread over loud scares. It may not suit those seeking traditional Victorian ghost tropes or explicit gore. The organization allows each tale to stand alone while contributing to a cohesive atmosphere of unease. This edition brings Wakefield’s psychological approach to contemporary audiences. The stories avoid melodrama in favor of quiet terror. Fans of early modern horror will find value in the understated tension. The collection remains relevant for its unique blend of civilized manners and spectral intrusion.
