Summary

This collection of tales will transport you to a time when staircases creaked in old manor houses and a candle could be blown out by a gust of wind, or by a passing ghost. Penned by some of the greatest Victorian novelists and masters of the ghost story genre, these stories come alive alongside eerie art
