The Ghost was the first of many "fantasias on modern times" written by Arnold Bennett. These illustrated his ability to produce not only realistic novels, perfected in his portrayals of provincial English life set in the Staffordshire scenery of his childhood, but also more sensational stories, written after his move to London where he developed a far more cosmopolitan interest. A supernatural story, The Ghost tells the tale of a beautiful opera star, Rosetta Rosa, whose beauty seems to cast a spell upon all those who meet her. When Carl Foster, a young doctor, sees Rosa at a London opera, and is instantly captivated, he soon finds himself plagued by mysterious happenings, and begins to see a malignant, spectral figure everywhere he turns. When another man enraptured by Rosa mysteriously dies, Carl begins to wonder whether loving her could bring with it a deadly curse. Moving between London and Paris, this fast-paced story draws the reader into a ghostly world of twists, turns, drama, and suspense.

Enoch Arnold Bennett (27 May 1867 - 27 March 1931) was an English writer. He is best known as a novelist, but he also worked in other fields such as journalism, propaganda and film.ennett was born in a modest house in Hanley in the Potteries district of Staffordshire. Hanley is one of a conurbation of six towns which were joined together at the beginning of the 20th century as Stoke-on-Trent. Enoch Bennett, his father, qualified as a solicitor in 1876, and the family moved to a larger house between Hanley and Burslem.Bennett was educated locally in Newcastle-under-Lyme. Bennett was employed by his father but the working relationship failed. Bennett found himself doing jobs such as rent-collecting which were uncongenial. He also resented the low pay; it is no accident that the theme of parental miserliness is important in his novels. In his spare time he was able to do a little journalism, but his breakthrough as a writer came after he had moved from the Potteries. At the age of 21, he left his father's practice and went to London as a solicitor's clerk

Excerpt from The Ghost a Modern Fantasy If you had seen me standing irresolute on the pavement, tapping my stick of Irish bog, oak idly against the curbstone, you would have seen a slim youth, rather nattily dressed (i think), with a shadow of brown on his upper lip, and a curl escaping from under his hat, and the hat just a little towards the back of his head, and a pretty good chin, and the pride of life in his ingenuous eye. Quite unaware that he was immature! Quite unaware that the supple curves of his limbs had an almost fem inine grace that made older fellows feel pater nal! Quite unaware that he had everything to learn, and that all his troubles lay before him! Actually fancying himself a man because he had just taken his medical degree.

It was with a certain nervousness that I mentioned Sullivan's name to the gentleman at the receipt oftickets-a sort of transcendantly fine version of Keith Prowse's clerk-but Sullivan had notexaggerated his own importance. They did look after me. They looked after me with such respectfuldiligence that I might have been excused for supposing that they had mistaken me for the Shah ofPersia in disguise. I was introduced into Sullivan's box with every circumstance of pomp. The boxwas empty. Naturally I had arrived there first. I sat down, and watched the enormous house fill, butnot until I had glanced into the mirror that hung on the crimson partition of the box to make surethat my appearance did no discredit to Sullivan and the great lady, his wife.At eight o'clock, when the conductor appeared at his desk to an accompaniment of applauding tapsfrom the musicians, the house was nearly full. The four tiers sent forth a sparkle of diamonds, ofsilk, and of white arms and shoulders which rivalled the glitter of the vast crystal chandelier. Thewide floor of serried stalls (those stalls of which one pair at least had gone for six pound ten) addedtheir more sombre brilliance to the show, while far above, stretching away indefinitely to the veryfurthest roof, was the gallery (where but for Sullivan I should have been), a mass of black spottedwith white faces.Excitement was in the air: the expectation of seeing once again Rosetta Rosa, the girl with thegolden throat, the mere girl who, two years ago, had in one brief month captured London, and whonow, after a period of petulance, had decided to recapture London. On ordinary nights, for theinhabitants of boxes, the Opera is a social observance, an exhibition of jewels, something betweenan F.O. reception and a conversazione with music in the distance. But to-night the habituésconfessed a genuine interest in the stage itself, abandoning their rôle of players. Dozens of timessince then have I been to the Opera, and never have I witnessed the candid enthusiasm of thatnight. If London can be naïve, it was naïve then.
