About

The Passenger, the second volume in Ash-Tree’s collected edition of Benson’s spook stories, covers the period between 1912 and 1921, and includes the famous “The Room in the Tower”. Half the material has only been discovered over the past twenty years, and was published in The Flint Knife, while three of the stories were included in the “spook stories” section of the ultra-rare volume The Countess of Lowndes Square (1920).
