Classic Ghost Stories: By Charles Dickens, M.R. James, Washington Irving, Lewis Carroll, Oscar Wilde and more

by Andrew Murray, Charles Dickens, Washington Irving

CLASSIC GHOST STORIES is a collection of some of the finest tales of the supernatural in world literature. Featuring such signature works by major authors as A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving and The Turn of the Screw by Henry James, this volume also brings together works you may not have encountered before. Lafcadio Hearn’s Kwaidan is the best introduction to the eeriest supernatural tales in the Japanese canon, and Phantasmagoria is as playfully inventive as any of the poems in Lewis Carroll’s Alice.

The complete list of works in this collection is

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow - by Washington Irving
Phantasmagoria and Other Poems - by Lewis Carroll
Kwaidan - by Lafcadio Hearn
The Turn of the Screw - by Henry James
Ghost Stories of an Antiquary – by M.R. James
Grim Tales – by Edith Nesbit
The Canterville Ghost – by Oscar Wilde
A Christmas Carol – by Charles Dickens

Enjoy the tales, whether in the broad light of day, or in the flickering half-light of a gas lamp, with brandy and cigar safely to hand, and faithful hound asleep by the roaring fire. And visit my website to discover my spooky stories for younger readers, GHOST RESCUE and FEAR RESCUE.

Interesting read

I did enjoy parts of this book. In particular the ghost stories of Japan. As they were both strange and kind of funny. Well worth reading.
