Description

This illustrated collection presents seven classically creepy stories from the Victorian era, in the same luxe format as Celtic Tales (Autumn 2016). Featuring well-known authors such as Charles Dickens and Elizabeth Gaskell, as well as masters of the ghost story such as M. R. James, this volume offers a taste of Victorian macabre to both devoted fans and newcomers to the genre. Artist Bill Bragg captures an atmospheric world of spectral shadows and creaky old manors with a full-page illustration for each tale.

Reviews

"This charming collection is full of atmosphere, anticipation and spooky goings on, enough to keep you awake at night and not just because you need to read just one more page."
