A celebration of Christmas, a tale of redemption and a critique on Victorian society, Dickens` atmospheric novella follows the miserly, penny-pinching Ebenezer Scrooge who views Christmas as `humbug`. It is only through a series of eerie, life-changing visits from the ghost of his deceased business partner Marley and the spirits of Christmas past, present and future that he begins to see the error of his ways. With heart-rending characters, rich imagery and evocative language, the message of A Christmas Carol remains as significant today as when it was first published.

This is a book to be read by a blazing fire on a winter`s night, with the curtains drawn close and the doors securely locked. The unquiet souls of the dead, both as fictional creations and as `real` apparitions, roam the pages of this haunting new selection of ghost stories by Rex Collings. Some of these stories are classics while others are lesser-known gems unearthed from this vintage era of tales of the supernatural. There are stories from distant lands - Fisher`s Ghost by John Lang is set in Australia and A Ghostly Manifestation by `A Clergyman` is set in Calcutta. In this selection, Sir Walter Scott (a Victorian in spirit if not in fact), keeps company with Edgar Allen Poe, Sheridan Le Fanu and other illustrious masters of the genre.
