In the great Victorian tradition, ghost stories have long been part of Christmas; a time when, as the nights draw in and the fire crackles, the shadows seem to grow deeper and the imagination runs wilder. The late 19th and early 20th centuries were a golden age for such tales, blending festive warmth with an irresistible chill.

This anthology includes:

The Real and the Counterfeit by Louisa Baldwin
The Kit Bag by Algernon Blackwood
Christmas Eve on a Haunted Hulk by Frank Cowper
The Old Nurse’s Story by Mrs Gaskell
Oh, Whistle and I’ll Come To You, My Lad by M. R. James
Smee by A. M. Burrage
All Soul’s by Edith Wharton
At Crighton Abbey by Mary E Braddon
The Crown Derby Plate by Marjorie Bowen

From haunted ships and spectral visitors to unsettling games played by candlelight, these classic Christmas ghost stories bring a delicious shiver to the season.
