The room they called the Den in Winnie Merriam's house was dark, except for the leaping wood-fire in the big stone fireplace. Around the fire sat and lay five girls. They had been toasting marshmallows, but they were past the point where you eat the toasted ones with pleasure, or even steal the raw ones-which don't taste burnt-to eat surreptitiously.

The Haunted Hour is an anthology of ghost poetry, published in 1920. From the Preface: This does not attempt to be an inclusive anthology. The ghostly poetry of the late war alone would have made a book as large as this; and an inclusive scheme would have ended as a six-volume Encyclopedia of Ghostly Verse. I hope that this may be called for some day. I have not considered as ghost-poems anything but poems which related to the return of spirits to earth.... If a poem would be a ghost-story, in short, I have considered it a ghost-poem, not otherwise. Margaret Widdemer (1884 - 1978) was a poet, editor, and novelist. She won the Columbia University Prize (later known as the Pulitzer) in 1919 for her poetry collection, The Old Road to Paradise.
