CHILLERS for CHRISTMAS :: 1990 HB w/ DJ | |
" 'At Christmas time,' said the stranger in the chimney corner, 'folks seem to think themselves privileged to ask other folks to tell stories.' " Chillers for Christmas brings together twenty-seven deliciously spine-chilling tales set in locations as diverse as India, France and England and spanning over a century of story-telling, but all united by their Christmas theme. " The traditional Victorian Christmas ghost story is well represented with seasonal offerings by Frank Cowper and George Manville Fenn, while modern chillers from the best of our contemporary writers of the genre are included in six stories written especially for this volume. " " So close the curtains against the howling wind, pull up a chair to the fireplace, and settle down with this festive collection of hauntings and horrors. Contents includes: " FOREWORD by Richard Dalby THE STRANGE RIDE OF MORROWBIE JUKES by Rudyard Kipling CHRISTMAS EVE ON A HAUNTED HULK by Frank Cowper THE PHANTOM RIDERS by Ernest R.
