Twelve of the very best Victorian short ghost stories, all written by incredibly talented, but oft-times overlooked or forgotten, authors.
The Victorian era is remembered for many things, but one of the fondest is the wide and varied array of short, ghostly, suspenseful talesâŠoften enjoyed around the fireside at Christmas time.
In this new anthology, John Banks performs twelve of the very best, all written by incredibly talented, but oft-times overlooked or forgotten, authors. Once you tire of Dickens and James, these are the true masters of short-form suspense:
