'Like any other boy I expected ghost stories at Christmas, that was
the time for them. What I had not expected, and now feared, was
that such things should actually become real.' Strange things
happen on the dark wintry nights of December. Welcome to a new
collection of haunting Christmas tales, ranging from traditional
Victorian chillers to weird and uncanny episodes by
twentieth-century horror masters including Daphne du Maurier and
Robert Aickman. Lurking in the blizzard are menacing cat spirits,
vengeful trees, malignant forces on the mountainside and a skater
skirting the line between the mortal and spiritual realms. Wrap up
warm - and prepare for the longest nights of all.
Offering a range of insightful and thought-provoking critical
perspectives--from publishing history to genre narrative to
socio-political contexts--this comprehensive study of Caribbean
short stories across the 20th century details the integral role the
form has played in the region's literary traditions and cultural
production. Including single author studies as well as more
wide-ranging explorations of particular periods and locales, this
collection of 25 essays provides insight into a broad selection of
short fiction from across the Caribbean's linguistic zones. The
essays in this resource are complemented by an extensive literary
and critical bibliography and a detailed, accessible introduction.
