Christmas Ghost Story
Reading and telling ghost stories is a Christmas tradition in many countries
including
Britain.
The tradition probably dates back to pre-Christian times, when
Yule and the Winter Solstice were thought to be
associated with evil spirits.
Probably the most famous Christmas ghost story is "A Christmas Carol"
written by Charles Dickens in 1843. It tells the tale of
Ebenezer Scrooge, a mean and miserly old man,
who is visited by the ghost of his dead business partner and of Christmases'
past, present and future, all in an effort to turn him away from his wicked
ways.
Here are some books of Christmas ghost stories:

Rooksnest Manor was a thin place, a place where the veil between worlds was frayed, a place where things came through which had no place here.
It was Christmas Eve and the snow was falling heavily outside. Lily and her five cousins were scattered into the dark corners of the old house, lost in a game of hide and seek. The prize for the winner was the carousel, the exquisite wooden toy that had sat on the desk in the library for longer than anyone could remember. But as she concealed herself in the dusty gloom of an empty bedroom, listening for her grandmother’s footfall in the hallway outside, Lily came to discover that there was something else searching for her in the shadows.
Crouching in the unlit space between the supernatural tales of MR James and the uncanny fiction of Algernon Blackwood, The Carousel is a short story best told by the fire with the curtains drawn and the door bolted.

M.R. James is probably the finest ghost-story writer England has ever produced. These tales are not only classics of their genre, but are also superb examples of beautifully-paced understatement, convincing background and chilling terror.
As well as the preface, there is a fascinating tail-piece by M.R. James, Stories I Have Tried To Write , which accompanies these thirty tales. Among them are 'Casting the Runes', 'Oh, Whistle and I'll come to you, My Lad', 'The Tractate Middoth', 'The Ash Tree' and 'Canon Alberic's Scrapbook'.
There are some authors one wishes one had never read in order to have the joy of reading them for the first time. For me, M.R. James is one of these . Ruth Rendall |

Christmas is traditionally the time of year when ghost stories are told. Shut out the night, huddle closer to the fire and enjoy a shiver down your spine with three festive and frightful stories.
A visit from the mother-in-law at Christmas takes a sinister turn, a Cathedral choirboy finds something nasty in the crypt, and a city high-flyer hears something coming down the chimney, but it's certainly not jolly. |
