The Oxford Book of Victorian Ghost Stories

The Victorians excelled at telling ghost stories, and the best still retain their power to unsettle and surprise. This chilling selection includes work by such supernatural specialists as J. S. Le Fanu and M. R. James; also emphasizes the role played by women writers such as Elizabeth Gaskell and E. Nesbit. There are also tales by Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Henry James, as well as one or two genuine rarities for the enthusiast to savour.
