Ghostly Tales: Spine-Chilling Stories of the Victorian Age by Chronicle Books

dark mysterious reflective tense fast-paced

3.0

I skipped a few stories, read about half and then gave up after realizing I didn't capture any of it and wouldn't remember enough to continue later. This would be a great bedside book, though I have the ebook version which isn't as romantic. 

Stories that haunted me for weeks later: "Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad" by M.R. James, "The Signalman" by Charles Dickens

Don't buy a victorian ghost story book. Instead, look up your favorite victorian authors and see if they've written ghost stories.
