Rudyard Kipling’s The Phantom Rickshaw and Other Ghost Stories conjures colonial India’s spectral shadows to expose human vice and imperial hubris. In the titular tale, John Holderness, a British officer, is tormented by the vengeful ghost of Bessie Slane—a woman he abandoned—manifesting as an unstoppable phantom rickshaw, symbolizing guilt and moral rot. Stories like The Strange Ride of Morrowbie Noul trap characters in surreal horrors, while My Own True Ghost Story blends dark humor with existential dread. The Man Who Would Be King critiques imperial ambition through two adventurers’ doomed quest for power. Kipling’s evocative prose merges Gothic terror with sharp social critique, using the supernatural to mirror colonial fragility and the inescapable echoes of sin. This anthology hauntingly reveals how personal and imperial pasts linger as spectral judges of human folly.
