Ghost Stories For Christmas Volume One

Bys: Charles Dickens, Andi Brooks, Elizabeth Gaskell, et al.

Embrace the spirits of Christmases past with this anthology of thirty seasonal tales from the golden age of the Christmas ghost story. Spanning the years 1820-1929, many of the thirty stories contained in this anthology were originally published in the Christmas editions of Victorian and Edwardian magazines and newspapers. Although some were later revised or retitled by their authors for publication in book form, Andi Brooks has gone back to those original versions to present the stories as they first appeared. This first volume of an annual series brings together an enthralling collection of stories from the pens of writers both legendary and all-but-forgotten. Within its covers, you will find whimsical tales to bring a smile to your face, poignant tales to bring a tear to your eye, and blood-curdling tales to send a chill of festive fear coursing through your veins. So turn the lights down low and snuggle up in your favourite corner to read these ghostly stories of Christmas long ago, but don't forget to keep one eye on the shadows closing in around you!
