It took me far too long to read this - I wanted to finish it by Christmas Day and it lasted me until well into the new year! Some stories were really good - I loved Robert Swindles’ and a few others but a fair majority were forgettable . Recommended by my mother but not something I’d pick myself .

Another short and sweet review. I saw this one while looking for Point Horror books and had to get it. I loved this one. Short stories that have to do with ghosts and hauntings?? Done deal for me

Over the last few months, I’ve been really into reading (or rereading) the scary books of my youth, like the Point Horror collection. When I saw this Christmas horror anthology with its delightfully cheesy cover, I knew I had to read it over the holidays! After all, during the Victorian era, people used to read ghost stories to each other at Christmas time. As is the case with almost all anthologies, a few of the stories fell flat for me, but I especially liked Jingle Bells, The Weeping Maid, The Investigators, The Other Room and Across the Fields. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
