This is the third collection of these 19th and early 20th century ghost stories I have read, always over a Christmas period, though again some of these are not ghost stories, but other types of mysteries. There was a greater number of longer stories here, and a fair few quite mediocre ones, though the quality of the stories seemed to improve towards the end. Favourites were the following (the Atherton and Bangs stories were more humorous): The Dead and the Countess (Gertrude Atherton), The Cedar Closet (Lafcadio Hearn), The Spectre Cook of Bangletop (John Kendrick Bangs), The Haunting of White Gates (G M Robins), The Shadow in the Corner (Mary Elizabeth Braddon) and The Upper Berth (F Marion Crawford). Other very good ones that just didn't quite hit the same high spot for me were: The Shadow on the Blind (Mrs Alfred (Louisa) Baldwin), No 5 Branch Line: The Engineer (Amelia Ann Blanford Edwards) and The Secret Chamber (Margaret Oliphant).

Another interesting inclusion was Arthur Machen's The Bowmen, in which ghostly bowmen from Agincourt help English Tommies in the First World War trenches by defeating a much larger German force. This story was taken by many at the time of its publication in 1914 to be true reporting of what soldiers had said, and probably helped to fuel the "Angel of Mons" legend of that year. ( )
