Poet Walter de la Mare also wrote ghost stories and supernatural novels, including Henry Brocken. Henry, a dreamer who spent his youth reading in the library of an old house, one day begins to come upon famous writers of the past from his books, and they seem more real to him than the flesh-and-blood world.
