Readers in the 19th Century were firm believers in supernatural phenomena. As a result, numerous writers exploited this market with ghost stories. Many famous literary authors, names well-known today, and others, turned their hand to this genre and created stories that fascinate... and chill. The Ghost Masters series strives to bring these famous authors, and their stories to the modern reader. This volume includes stories from Washington Irving (The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Stories by a Nervous Gentleman, and The Money Diggers), Charles Dickens (The Signal-man, The Haunted House, The Trial for Murder), Elia Peattie (The Shape of Fear and Other Ghostly Tales — a collection of thirteen stories), and Algernon Blackwood (The Empty House — a collection of ten stories). If you’re a connoisseur of ghost stories, then you must add these stories to your collection.
