"But something odd does happen here at Christmas time. When I first
heard the story, I thought it was an old wives' tale, but-well,
these old houses-you hear strange things-" He lifted his shoulders
and stared into the fire..." From the troves of the British Library
collections comes a new volume for Christmas nights-when the
boundary between the mundane and the unearthly is ever so
thin-ushering in a new throng of revenants, demons, spectres and
shades drawn to the glow of the hearth. Included within are
eighteen classic stories ranging from 1864 to 1974, with vintage
Victorian chillers nestled alongside unsettling modern pieces from
L. P. Hartley and Mildred Clingerman; lost tales from rare
anthologies and periodicals; weird episodes from unexpected authors
such as Winston Graham and D. H. Lawrence; stories simmering with a
twisted humour from Elizabeth Bowen and Celia Fremlin and many more
haunting seasonal treats.
