A lawyer’s assistant haunted by a killer, a mysterious book that inspires devilish deeds, a surgeon tricked into disfiguring his lover – these ten short tales of the macabre come from some of the best-known writers of suspense and mystery including Arthur Conan Doyle, MR James and Ruth Rendell.
Not everything that goes bump in the night brings gifts ...
As the nights draw in, the veil between worlds thins, and all sorts of ghosts and ghouls come tumbling in. In the shadows, under the bed, in wind-whipped snowy landscapes and in rooms lit by guttering candles, the dead of winter are waiting for us ... and their hearts are cold as ice.
From the mysterious occupant of an ancient tomb to the Christmas visitor who is troubled by violent dreams, these are ten ghost stories from the masters of the genre that will chill your blood and haunt your dreams through the darkest months of the year.
With stories from Lennox Robinson, M. Burrage, Ruth Rendell, E.F. Benson, Arthur Conan Doyle, H. Russell Wakefield, M.R. James, Margaret Irwin, Algernon Blackwood and W.W. Jacobs
