The Oxford Book of Victorian Ghost Stories

by

Michael Cox (editor)

The Victorians excelled at telling ghost stories. In an age of rapid scientific progress the idea of a vindictive past able to reach out and violate the present held a special potential for terror.

This anthology charts the development of the ghost story from 1850 to the early years of the twentieth century.
