Here's a wonderfully creepy collection of ghostly tales. These stories are haunting and brilliant, I really enjoyed every page of this book. A total surprise, I just glimpsed it one day on the bookstore shelves and grabbed it for the art and it turned out to be one of my all time favorite scary books.This book would be a great book to buy for a young person this Halloween season.

'Mesmerizing, understated, and convincingly Victorian in tone ... A book for children who enjoy being frightened - and a perfect introduction to Saki and Edgar Allen Poe' Guardian
Buy it on Amazon.

What an incredible cover! I'm not familiar with this book, but I think I will have to try to get my hands on a copy, now. It looks wonderful. I'm loving this series of blog posts!
One of my favourite ghost stories as a child was The Amazing Mr Blunden. Such a good story and heartbreaking in places.
