Beschreibung
A new collection of twenty ghostly tales of Yuletide terror, collected from rare Victorian periodicalsSeeking to capitalize on the success of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol (1843), Victorian newspapers and magazines frequently featured ghost stories at Christmas time, and reading them by candlelight or the fireside became an annual tradition, a tradition Valancourt Books is pleased to continue with our series of Victorian Christmas ghost stories. This third volume contains twenty tales, most of them never before reprinted. They represent a mix of the diverse styles and themes common to Victorian ghost fiction and include works by once-popular authors like Ellen Wood and Charlotte Riddell as well as contributions from anonymous or wholly forgotten writers. This volume also features a new introduction by Prof. Simon Stern.Before me, with the sickly light from the lantern shining right down upon it, was-a cloven hoof! Then the awfulness of the compact I had made came to my mind with terrible force ... - Frederick Manley, The Ghost of the Cross-RoadsBy the fireplace there was a large hideous pool of blood soaking into the carpet, and leaving ghastly stains around. I am not ashamed to confess that my brain reeled; the mysterious horror overcame me ... - Lillie Harris, 19, Great Hanover StreetA fearful white face comes to me; a horrible mask, with features drawn as in agony-ghastly, pale, hideous! Death or approaching death, violent death, written in every line. Every feature distorted. Eyes starting from the head. Thin lips moving and working-lips that are cursing, although I hear no sound. - Hugh Conway, A Dead Man's Face
