<th class="key">Summary:</th>
<td>Phantom coaches, evil familiars, shadowy houses, spectral children and mysterious doppelgängers haunt this terrifying new selection of ghost stories. Bringing together the best works from the masters of the supernatural, these are stories that defined the genre. They range from M.R. James's tale of an ancient curse and W.W. Jacob's story of gruesome wish-fulfilment to Robert Louis Stevenson's telling of a parish priest tormented for life by his encounter with the undead and Charles Dickens's unsettling account of a railway signal-man and an ominous portent.</td>
