The Valancourt Book of Victorian Christmas Ghost Stories, Volume Two by Grant Allen, Eliza Lynn Linton
3.0
Another (mostly) fantastic collection of Victorian Christmas Ghost Stories from Valancourt Books.
My favourites of the bunch:
Number Two Melrose Sq. with scary ghosts with good descriptions of gruesome characters and dread.
Christmas Eve in Beach House had solid terrors, mood, and ghosts. (A typo on page 169 bead in place of head).
The Necromancer was long-winded, but a very satisfying ghost (p.191)
The book ends on the very enjoyable tale of foolish love and murder, A Terrible Retribution, or Squire Orton's Ghost.
