The Last Seance: Tales of the Supernatural by Agatha Christie by Agatha Christie
4.0
Geoffrey has that—a blind understanding. All children possess it. It is only as we grow older that we lose it, that we cast it away from us. Sometimes, when we are quite old, a faint gleam comes back to us, but the Lamp burns brightest in childhood’

A perfect collection for a cold autumnal/winter evening, The Last Séance puts together many of Agatha Christie’s short stories with a supernatural edge to them, each mystery as gripping as the next!
-
For lovers of the supernatural and the macabre comes this collection of ghostly and chilling tales from Agatha Christie. Acknowledged the world over as the undisputed Queen of Crime, in fact she dabbled in her early writing career with mysteries of a more unearthly kind – stories featuring fantastic psychic visions, spectres looming in the shadows, encounters with deities, eerie messages from the Other Side, even a man who switches bodies with a cat…
This haunting compendium gathers together all of Christie’s spookiest and most macabre short stories, some featuring her timeless detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. Finally together in one volume, it shines a light on the darker side of Agatha Christie, one that she herself relished, identifying ten of them as ‘my own favourite stories written soon after The Mysterious Affair at Styles, some before that’.

I loved this collection so much, naturally some stories are always gonna stick out to different people, but my personal favourites were The Dream & The DressMaker’s Doll. Have you read this collection yet? If so, which were your favourite stories?
