Tales for Twilight offers a spine-tingling selection of unnerving
tales by writers from James Hogg in the early eighteenth century to
James Robertson, very much alive in the twenty-first. Scottish
authors have proved to be exceptionally good at writing ghost
stories. Perhaps it’s because of the tradition of oral
storytelling that has stretched over centuries, including poems and
ballads with supernatural themes. The golden age was during the
Victorian and Edwardian period, but the ghost story has continued
to evolve and remains popular to this day. Includes stories from
Sir Walter Scott, George Mackay Brown, Muriel Spark, Margaret
Oliphant, Robert Louis Stevenson, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Guy
Boothby, Algernon Blackwood, Eileen Bigland, Ronald Duncan, James
Robertson and Ian Rankin.
