The Phantom Rickshaw and Other Ghost Stories. Five Tales of Colonial India Where the Dead Don't Stay Buried

A man who abandoned a dying lover starts seeing her rickshaw on the streets of Simla, empty and waiting, in this collection's title story - the opener for five tales of guilt, obsession, and the supernatural set against British India's hill stations and garrison towns. Kipling writes horror the way he writes everything else: precise, unshowy, and interested less in the ghost itself than in what haunted the person before it ever showed up.
A lesser-known side of Kipling for readers who only know the Jungle Book - colonial gothic fiction from a writer who spent his early career reporting from exactly the world these stories haunt.
