'It is a genial, festive season, and we love to muse upon graves, and dead bodies, and murders, and blood.' - Told After Supper by Jerome K. Jerome

These classic ghostly tales set around Christmastime were written between 1868 and 1955. I enjoyed the writing and the variety in this collection, from the spooky to the sentimental to the uncanny. They are full of atmosphere and perfect for reading cozied up with a blanket by the warm glow of Christmas lights.

'It is nice to choose to be frightened, when one need not be.' - Green Holly by Elizabeth
