Official synopsis Publisher
“In each of these eighteen stories and poems there is a ghost or a spectre, but that is all they have in common, for there is such variety in Charles Molin’s selection. These spooks don’t all rattle chains and appear at the stroke of midnight–each one is a distinct and spine-chilling creation, from the spectre who came to warn the railway signalman in Charles Dickens’s brilliant story to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s dead Indian, who appears to reclaim his lost hand, or W. F. Harvey’s terrifyingly original story of the Beast with Five Fingers. Read this book at your peril, and don’t blame us if you can’t sleep afterwards! For readers of eleven and over.”–Pg. [4] of cover.
