The Victorian Ghost Story - Volume 1: Th Elizabeth Gaskell, J Y Ackerman, Sheridan Le Fanu, Mrs Craik, Edward Bulwer Lytton, Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Charles Dickens, Reverend R S Hawker & Rhoda Broughton
Almost always when we think of Ghost Stories, we first think of those written by the Victorians.
When you consider the depth of literary talent available over the extraordinary length of Queen Victoria’s reign, allied to the fascination with their all things spiritual on ‘the other side’, then perhaps it’s simply right place, right time.

Whatever the reasons given or proffered the reality and known facts are that if you want a really good ghost story to bring that edge of chill, that foreboding of dread, that feeling that in an empty house we are not quite alone and that sometimes the sharp, sheer shock of what just happened is upon us then look no further than ‘The Victorian Ghost Story’ for your reading and listening pleasure.
