"The Bell in the Fog and Other Stories" by Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton is a set of short stories from the early 1900s that look closely at what people want, what they hope for, and how they connect with each other; the main characters often deal with feeling alone, wanting to be great artists, and being haunted by what happened before. The first story is about Ralph Orth, a famous American writer who moves to an old family house in England, and it shows how much he wants to connect with others, especially the two ghostly, pretty kids in the paintings at his house; as he starts writing their story, Ralph Orth's journey mixes being an artist with wanting to connect with people more deeply.
