Date: January 20th, 2026 12:55 PM Author: Haunting charismatic foreskin stain I think this is right. Where would you put HR Wakefield and William Hope Hodgson? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5807682&forum_id=2Reputation#49603634) |

Date: January 20th, 2026 12:59 PM Author: grizzly fluffy cruise ship not familiar with Wakefield tbh but I would classify Hodsgon as more of a Weird Fiction/sci-fi writer. Blackwood too, but a lot of his output was in line with the Victorian ghost story tradition. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5807682&forum_id=2Reputation#49603645) |

Admittedly I've only read it once but I'm a little confused as to why it is the most discussed/debated/controversial ghost story. It doesn't seem all THAT ambiguous imo.

Date: January 20th, 2026 6:33 PM Author: Haunting charismatic foreskin stain I only read it once but I loved it. His other ghost stories are good too (as are his novels; I still need to finish Portrait of a Lady but I liked it, and I loved The Bostonians)
I have a middle of the road interpretation which is that she killed the kid but that the ghosts were real to a certain extent or else that she had latent psychic abilities which allowed her to "see" things from the past
