Similar to volume one, this spooky collection of Victorian Ghost Stories features a variety of ghostly stories set in winter and around Christmas. The stories here were a bit more hit and miss for me than in the previous book, as some didn't resonate with me at all. I also found them less scary than volume one but enjoyed my annual Victorian Christmas Ghost Story read nonetheless.
