The Phantom Rickshaw and Other Ghost Stories
There was a Rudyard Kipling who spoke Hindi, studied the religions of India and admired the art. Unfortunately in this book we find the Kipling who caricatured the Indians and their various cultures in order to write frivolous tales of the supernatural for the Victorian mass market. One needs to love the genre far more than I do in order to enjoy this book.
Although Kipling panders to rather vulgar tastes in "The Phantom Rickshaw", the collection is still worth reading. Notably, it contains "The Man Who Would be King" that John Huston made into a movie. My favorite tale is the tremendously macabre ""The Strange Ride of Morrowbie Jukes."
Although "The Phantom Rickshaw" is unquestionably entertaining, it still represents the worst of Kipling not his best.
