Victorian Ghost Story, The - Volume 2

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 2 02 - The Romance of Certain Old Clothes by Henry James 03 - Reality or Delusion by Mrs Ellen Wood 04 - The Shadow of a Shade by Tom Hood 05 - No Living Voice by Thomas Street Millington 06 - Since I Died by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps 07 - Was It An Illusion.
