Edith Wharton was born in NYC in 1862. Though primarily known for her novels depicting the lifestyles of New York’s upper class in the early 20th century, Wharton was also a practitioner of the ghostly tale, a genre that she greatly esteemed. Wharton passed away in 1937, at the age of 75.

Perhaps because she is one of the most esteemed writers of the 20th century, Edith Wharton may not be immediately associated with the genre of horror. Today, she is probably best remembered for her novels The House of Mirth (1905) and The Age of Innocence (1920), which latter book copped her the Pulitzer Prize, as well as for her classic novella from 1911, Ethan Frome, a staple reading assignment for all English majors.
