"The Phantom 'Rickshaw, and Other Ghost Stories" by Rudyard Kipling is a collection of short stories first published in 1888. The volume presents four tales set in colonial India, ranging from supernatural hauntings to darkly adventurous encounters. A spurned lover returns as a ghost in her phantom rickshaw, mysterious billiard games echo in empty rooms, an Englishman becomes trapped in a village of the living dead, and two adventurers pursue a dangerous dream of kingship in remote Kafiristan. Each story explores the unsettling boundaries between reality and the otherworldly.
