Summary
Before she became a world-famous children’s author E. Nesbit wrote for adults. She penned a great many ghost and horror stories, of which the very best are gathered here.
These tales of terror feature sinister activities on All Hallow’s Eve, church hauntings and apparitions from beyond the grave. But they also beautifully portray scenes of idyllic domesticity and love, which dark and horrific elements gradually and even brutally undermine…
Read them and shiver.
