Told After Supper: Ghostly Tales for Christmas Eve (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781528726269)

Playfully reviving the Victorian tradition of sharing ghost stories on Christmas Eve, Told After Supper is a witty collection of supernatural tales.

In Jerome K. Jerome's macabre work, a cheerful gathering around the fire gives way to a series of increasingly bizarre and ghostly Christmas stories. All at once eerie, absurd, and delightfully satirical, Told After Supper brings Jerome's trademark humour to the haunted hearthside, parodying the popular ghost story while still conjuring moments of genuine suspense.

First published in 1891, Told After Supper is a forgotten seasonal gem. Darkly comic, it is perfect Christmas reading for anyone who enjoys their festivities tinged with the supernatural.
