A vengeful phantom lurks in a country graveyard. A whaling crew becomes
trapped on a haunted ship. A human skull is kept locked in a cupboard, but
sometimes at night, it screams. . . . This collection of tales transports
the reader to a time when staircases creaked in old manor houses, and a
candle could be blown out by a gust of wind, or by a passing ghost. Penned
by some of the greatest Victorian novelists and masters of the ghost story
genre, each story is illustrated with exquisitely eerie artwork in this
special gift edition featuring an embossed textured case and a ribbon
marker.
