A spine-tingling collection of ghost stories guaranteed to terrify.
First published in 1886 and reprinted here with a bewitching introduction by Kirsty Logan, the spooky tales in this little book are guaranteed to send a tingle down your spine. These uncanny stories feature secret rooms, spinning wheels, phantom carriages, haunted portraits, hidden messages, unsolved murders, and thwarted love affairs. Set in Scotland, Cornwall, and Spain, each is told by an eyewitness narrator, including a gardener, a tutor, and a governess, but the identity of the author remains a mystery. The collection starts with a macabre house party and ends with a haunting on New Year’s Eve. And, of course, whatever you do, don’t read them after midnight!
