A collection of ghostly stories sure to send shivers down your spine, it includes tales from renowned storytellers, including E. Heron and H. Heron?s The Story of the Spaniards, Hammersmith, the protagonist of which is Flaxman low, the Sherlock Holmes of supernatural stories; Perceval Landon?s Thurnley Abbey; and Kipling?s The Phantom Rickshaw.
