The Travelling Bag and Other Ghostly Stories

Victorian chills meet modern-day hauntings.

If you're the kind who revels in the shivery delight of ghost stories whispered by candlelight, then Susan Hill's "The Travelling Bag and Other Ghostly Stories" is a treasury you won't want to miss. Hill's ability to weave the uncanny into the fabric of the everyday has turned many readers into willing insomniacs, unable to put the book down. Her tales are a nod to the classics with a contemporary twist that will linger with you, like a chill you can't quite shake.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

From the foggy streets of Victorian London to the eerie quiet of 1950s suburbia, the everyday is invaded by the evil otherworldly in this chilling collection of ghost stories from the author of The Woman in Black. In the title story, on a murky evening in a warmly lit club off St James, a bishop listens closely as a paranormal detective recounts his most memorable case, one whose horrifying denouement took place in that very building. In The Front Room, a devoutly Christian mother tries to protect her children from the evil influence of their grandmother, both when she is alive and when she is dead. A lonely boy finds a friend in Boy Number 21, but years later he is forced to question the nature of that friendship, and to ask whether ghosts can perish in fires. This is Susan Hill at her best, telling flesh-creeping and startling tales of thwarted ambition, terrifying revenge and supernatural stirrings that will leave readers wide awake long into the night.
