Charles Dickens supplies the mischievous frame tale: lease a derelict mansion, invite friends for the holidays, and promise not to flinch when midnight footsteps echo in the hall. The result is six unique hauntings that map the secret fears of an age obsessed with séances, spirit raps, and the thin veil between life and death.
What You'll Discover in This Modern Edition:
- The Mortals in the House (Dickens) - A witty yet uneasy welcome to rooms already occupied.
- The Ghost in Master B.'s Room (Dickens) - Childhood guilt returns with a blood-curdling lullaby.
- The Ghost in the Corner Room (Adelaide Anne Procter) - A poet's lament that turns prophecy of doom.
Re-edited for clarity yet rich with Dickensian wit, this collection is perfect for lovers of The Turn of the Screw, Crimson Peak, and anyone who thinks the holidays are best spent telling scary stories by the fire.
