Halloween Books Part two: The Oxford Book Of English Ghost Stories

A pretty much perfect collection of spooky ghost stories. Forty Two stories written between 1829 and 1968, mainly from the period between the wars. I think this is my favorite ghost story collection, along with another which I'll feature later on. Te stories mostly take place in desolate British locales; from crumbling rural estate to run down and abandoned alleys in London.The focus of these stories is more mood and subtlety and will put you firmly in a Halloween mood.

"Handsome Oxford collection of spooks...plenty of flesh-creeping matter here."--The Times
 
"The perfect book for long winter evenings of drawn curtains and flickering firelight."--Books and Bookmen
