Featuring stories by A.S. Byatt - Angela Carter - Lisa St Aubin de Teran - May Sinclair - Joan Aiken - Stella Gibbons - Edith Wharton - E.M. Delafield - Elizabeth Bowen - Ruth Rendell and many more. This collection gathers together deliciously chilling tales from the three highly-acclaimed volumes of Virago ghost stories.
