Descriere magazin:
Thirteen rare tales by the most prolific Victorian Christmas ghost story author, collected and republished for the first time! Move over, Charles Dickens! The author of A Christmas Carol may be the most famous Victorian author of Christmas ghost stories, but the king of the genre was James Skipp Borlase (1839-1909), who published dozens of them in obscure British and Australian periodicals during a nearly fifty-year span. Now for the first time, thirteen of Borlase\'s best tales have been unearthed from newspaper archives and compiled in a single volume for modern readers. In A Weird Wooing (1898) an impecunious suitor braves a house haunted by the ghosts of plague victims in search of a legendary treasure. The Steel-Bound Valise (1875) tells of a horrid murder and a spectral vision that reveals the truth behind the awful deed. In A Bride from the Dead (1899), a man races against time on horseback to save his beloved from a forced marriage-but arrives too late to prevent an even more horrible and macabre fate. This volume showcases Borlase\'s wide range, featuring macabre and bone-chilling stories alongside more lighthearted pieces, all of them just as entertaining to read on a winter\'s night as they were more than a century ago.
