Originally published in 1928, They Return at Evening collects thirteen ghost stories that helped shape modern supernatural fiction. With a refined, often chilling style, Wakefield moves beyond traditional Victorian ghosts to depict a more psychological and modern form of horror-quiet, civilized, and deeply unsettling. These stories span cursed houses, haunted golf courses, and spectral telephones, balancing eerie understatement with sudden shocks. "The Red Lodge " "He Cometh and He Passeth By " and "The Seventeenth Hole at Duncaster " are now regarded as classics of the genre.
