The nineteenth century is a rich source of stories which make your spine tingle and your nerves stand on end. A ghost in an old church and a cursed picture, a bitter, bloody vendetta, a family feud continued after death and an enormous rat with the eyes of the devil are just some of the strange elements in these compelling tales. With stories by Dickens, Conan Doyle, Wells and Poe amongst others this collection offers a wonderfully diverse range of the best mystery stories from the nineteenth century.
