The Ghosts by Gaslight MEGAPACK® (en Inglés) - Edited by John Betancourt;Charlotte Riddell

From fog-shrouded railway carriages to candlelit séance rooms, from haunted manor houses to snow-swept country roads, the gaslight era produced some of the finest ghost stories ever written-and many of the best have been hiding in the yellowed pages of forgotten magazines for over a century.

This collection gathers twenty tales of the supernatural from the Victorian and Edwardian periods, drawn from sources as varied as Belgravia, Bentley's Miscellany, Temple Bar, Household Words, and The Strand. The contributors range from celebrated names-Le Fanu, H.G. Wells, W.W. Jacobs, Walter Scott, Amelia B. Edwards-to writers who vanished so thoroughly from literary history that almost nothing is known of them beyond the stories themselves.

Whether the ghost arrives as a cold shadow on a bedroom wall, a voice with no living source, or a shrouded figure gripping the foot of a bed, these are stories built on atmosphere, dread, and the unsettling conviction that the past is never entirely past.
