_My Own True Ghost Story_
As I came through the Desert thus it was--
As I came through the Desert.
_The City of Dreadful Night._
Somewhere in the Other World, where there are books and pictures and plays
and shop windows to look at, and thousands of men who spend their lives in
building up all four, lives a gentleman who writes real stories about the
real insides of people; and his name is Mr. Walter Besant. But he will
insist upon treating his ghosts--he has published half a workshopful of
them--with levity.
