What a fiendishly delicious delight, all in practically a pocket-sized little edition with a slim satin ribbon to mark your progress. The whole experience of reading these marvelously mendacious morsels is distinctly retro. No matter where you find yourself, a few sentences in you are deliciously transported - back in time and place - and pulled down a sweet little rabbit hole which invariably takes a polite yet decided turn for the terrifying. You may start out enjoying tea in the rectory, or looking out over a placid meadow or a windswept beach, but somehow you will end up sweating and craning your head over your own shoulder.

You will love every moment.

Highly recommended for ghost story aficionados, antiquarians with a sly sense of humor, bored clergy in need of a change of pace, and literate snobs with a secret sense of their own invidious shortcomings.
