Description

Shivery tales of Yuletide ghosts. Since Charles Dickens the Christmas ghost story has become a seasonal tradition that has delighted generations. Tales of Christmas ghosts have enchanted both readers and listeners of all ages with the magic of the season. In Spirits of Christmas, Kathryn Cramer and David G. Hartwell have assembled twenty of these charming stories - from a lesser-known story of Dickens' to newly commissioned contemporary tales. The stories range in style from humor to chilling suspense, and are set in historical and modern milieus. Spirits of Christmas is a compilation that represents the ghost in its varied forms and manifestations: family ghosts and supernatural ghouls; ghosts of romance to ghosts of hatred and revenge with a variety of unforgettable characters gathered for the evocative Christmas season. Many of these Christmas stories should be read aloud and shared at Christmastime. Rediscover, with family and friends, the timeless beauty of this tradition in Charles Dickens' overshadowed "Haunted Man," and its parody by Bret Harte. Be privy to "The Confessions of Ebenezer Scrooge" by James Morrow, and smile at the hard-boiled detective in Greg Cox's "But Do You Recall." Share the cheerful "Old Applejoy's Ghost" by master story-teller Frank Stockton, and an old man's salvation in the ghost of love in Susan Palwick's "A Masquerade of Voices."
