The novel falls within the genre of Southern Gothic literature, blending elements of folklore, mystery, and psychological depth to create a suspenseful and atmospheric reading experience. Murfree’s exploration of themes such as isolation, grief, and the lasting impact of the past on the present make ‘His Unquiet Ghost’ a compelling and thought-provoking work of fiction.
