Description:

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. 01 - The Victorian Ghost Story - An Introduction - Volume 1 02 - The Old Nurse's Story by Elizabeth Gaskell 03 - The Miniature by J Y Ackerman 04 - An Account of Some Strange Disturbances in Aungier Street by Sheridan Le Fanu 09 - The Last House in C Street by Mrs Craik 06 - The Haunted and the Haunters; or, The House and the Brain - Part 1 by Edward Bulwer Lytton 07 - The Haunted and the Haunters; or, The House and the Brain - Part 2 by Edward Bulwer Lytton 08 - The Cold Embrace by Mary Elizabeth Braddon 09 - The Signalman by Charles Dickens 10 - The Botathen Ghost from Footprints of Former Men in Far Cornwall by the Reverend R S Hawker 11 - The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But the Truth by Rhoda Broughton Author - Elizabeth Gaskell.
