The Canterville Ghost: Oscar Wilde's Hilarious and Haunting Tale of a Very Unusual Specter

👻 What happens when an American family moves into a haunted English mansion? The ghost isn't ready for them.

Oscar Wilde's The Canterville Ghost is a witty and whimsical short story that blends gothic horror with sparkling satire. When the modern, no-nonsense Otis family buys the old Canterville Chase estate, they're not the least bit scared by its resident ghost—Sir Simon, who has been haunting the halls for centuries. But Sir Simon soon finds that haunting Americans is harder than it looks…

💫 A ghost story turned upside down—with plenty of charm, laughs, and a surprising twist of heart. Wilde takes aim at British aristocracy, American pragmatism, and the clichés of horror fiction in this delightful tale that's equal parts comedy, mystery, and melancholy. What begins as a battle of wits between ghost and guests turns into a surprisingly touching story about forgiveness, redemption, and the need to be remembered.

🕯️ Perfect for fans of ghost stories, clever humor, and timeless storytelling.
