"A collection of eerie and surprising stories newly recorded by Spiracle, and best listened to by a winter hearth. In the great Victorian tradition, ghost stories have long been part of Christmas; a time when, as the nights draw in and the fire crackles, the shadows seem to grow deeper and the imagination runs wilder. The late 19th and early 20th centuries were a golden age for such tales, blending festive warmth with an irresistible chill. This anthology includes: The Real and the Counterfeit by Louisa Baldwin The Kit Bag by Algernon Blackwood Christmas Eve on a Haunted Hulk by Frank Cowper The Old Nurse’s Story by Mrs Gaskell Oh, Whistle and I’ll Come To You, My Lad by M. R. James Smee by A. M. Burrage All Soul’s by Edith Wharton At Crighton Abbey by Mary E Braddon The Crown Derby Plate by Marjorie Bowen From haunted ships and spectral visitors to unsettling games played by candlelight, these classic Christmas ghost stories bring a delicious shiver to the season. This audiobook is read by David Angland and Kitty Archer."
