For some time before her death, Woolf had discussed the possibility of her reprinting "Monday or Tuesday," or publishing a new volume of collected short stories. Finally, in 1940, she decided to put together a new volume of such stories and include in it most of the stories that had appeared originally in "Monday or Tuesday," as well as some published subsequently in magazines and some published. This volume is the result.

An interesting concept for an anthology of short stories, very unique! The introduction and setting of the Haunted House was creepy and funny, and created a vivid atmosphere for the stories, so that though they were extremely varied, they always hand an air of mystery, as well as a bridge between their widely differing genres and styles. The ending of the book fell a bit flat for me though, since the ghostly activity from the beginning of the book was never sufficiently resolved, and just seemed to vanish in the end without reason; instead, two couples got married and the author talked about the Bible. Maybe this made sense as a convention of literature at the time it was written, maybe to make it a happy ending or something, but at present, it threw an anticlimax at the end of a book that was really good and engaging in all other aspects. Aside from that, this book was highly entertaining and extremely memorable. The stories themselves are haunting and will stick with me for sometime to come! This is most definitely a book worth reading!

With eye-like windows and doors that look like tunnel entrances to the unknown, houses lend themselves to our primal and persistent sense of living among ghosts.
