Unfortunately, I bailed on this book as it wasn't what I was looking for: a Christmas ghost story. The stories are by a variety of writers with Dickens as the main contributor. There is no haunted house and the “ghost“ stories are stories about regrets, memories, even bad dreams. Christmas is lightly present in the background, but the stories are quite eclectic. I may return some day, but reader beware if you are looking for a Xmas experience! 😥

This story from The Bitter Southerner is bone chilling. Enjoy. 😱

“The old and sturdy house, set on rolling pastureland alongside a placid river, appeared safe and calm. It was not. Nannie, and the land around her, was thoroughly haunted. In less than a year we would break the lease, perform a binding ritual, and leave.”

Since I bought myself a new book today I had to buy my kitty something (because treats and food aren't enough) so I bought her a haunted house. 🦇🕸👻 🎃
