The three volumes of Virago ghost stories have met with huge acclaim. Now this new volume gathers together the most deliciously chilling tales from a genre that has thrilled readers for over two hundred years. Here lost loves, past enmities and unwanted memories mingle with the inexplicable as unquiet souls return to repay kindnesses, settle scores and haunt the imagination. All of the writers demonstrate a subtle power to delight and chill at the same time as they explore the ghostly margins of the supernatural.
