Download The Phantom Coach: A Connoisseur's Collection of the Best Victorian Ghost Stories AudioBook Free
A spine-tingling new collection of the best Victorian ghost stories-as suspenseful and interesting as anything written today. Ghost reviews date back generations, but those written in the Victorian era have a distinctive atmosphere and dark beauty. Michael Sims, whose past Victorian selections Dracula's Guest (vampires) and The Dead Witness (detectives) have been broadly praised, has compiled twelve of the greatest reviews about humanity's oldest supernatural obsession. The Phantom Coach includes tales by a surprising and frequently legendary cast, including Charles Dickens, Margaret Oliphant, Henry Wayne, Rudyard Kipling, and Arthur Conan Doyle, as well as lost gems by neglected experts such as Mary E. Wilkins Freeman and W. F. Harvey. Amelia B. Edwards's chilling tale provides collection its title, while Ambrose Bierce ("The Moonlit Street"), Elizabeth Gaskell ("The Old Nurse's Storyline"), and W. W. Jacobs ("The Monkey's Paw") will convert you white as a sheet. With a skillful intro to the genre and records on each tale by Sims, The Phantom Coach is a spectacular collection of ghostly Victorian thrills.
