Book Description

Reviving the Victorian tradition of telling ghost stories on Christmas Eve, Christmas Ghost Stories gathers spine-chilling classics from Dickens, Gaskell, James, and more, for some late-night Christmas reading.

‘Oh, it is a stirring night in Ghostland, the night of December the twenty-fourth!’ —Jerome K. Jerome, 1891

Boasting some of the finest supernatural tales ever written these Christmas ghost stories summon spirits from the Victorian hearthside to be retold in eerie tradition on the night before Christmas. From Charles Dickens’ mischievous goblins to Elizabeth Gaskell’s haunted halls, M. R. James’ spectral warnings and H. P. Lovecraft’s nightmarish visions, these haunting stories will make your Christmas Eve unforgettable.

Not for the faint of heart, and definitely unsuitable for children, this uncanny collection of Christmas ghost tales is perfect for those looking for a chilling way to ring in the most festive day of the year.
