The Valancourt Book of Victorian Christmas Ghost Stories by Tara Moore (Editor)
English | 2016 | Horror | 2.2 MB



The first-ever collection of Victorian Christmas ghost stories, culled from rare 19th-century periodicals.
During the Victorian era, it became traditional for publishers of newspapers and magazines to print ghost stories during the Christmas season for chilling winter reading by the fireside or candlelight. Now for the first time thirteen of these tales are collected here, including a wide range of stories from a diverse group of authors, some well-known, others anonymous or forgotten. Readers whose only previous experience with Victorian Christmas ghost stories has been Charles Dickens’s “A Christmas Carol” will be surprised and delighted at the astonishing variety of ghostly tales in this volume.
