Ghost Stories for Christmas Eve

Four masters of the supernatural in one chilling collection, made for the old tradition of telling ghost stories on Christmas Eve.

Henry James's The Turn of the Screw opens with friends gathered round the fire on Christmas Eve, sharing ghost stories, before one of them reads the account of a young governess and two children in a lonely country house. Charles Dickens's Three Ghost Stories brings together The Signal-Man, The Haunted House and The Trial for Murder. Bram Stoker's Dracula's Guest collects his eeriest short tales, including the tale long believed to be the deleted opening chapter of Dracula, and Sheridan Le Fanu's Green Tea is the unsettling case of a clergyman haunted by a creature only he can see.

Turn down the lights: these are the stories that defined the classic ghost story.
