Classic Victorian and Edwardian Ghost Stories
Various
Rating 
This collection comprises standard Victorian fare - definitely classics. My favourites included Dickens' 'To Be Taken with a Grain of Salt', Le Fanu's 'Narrative of a Ghost of a Hand' (one of the strangest I've come across) and 'A Ghostly Manifestation', a clergyman's supernatural experiences in India. Special mention must go to Edith Nesbit's 'Man-Size in Marble'.
