Winter Tales

Winter tales — stories to tell or to read around a warm fire on a cold dark night, preferably with a steamy hot drink to wrap your hands around. A lovely website with many stories.

Lies We Tell. Sheridan Le Fanu. Not a ghost story but it has the vibe.

James Lloyd's wonderful scarecrow image makes me think we should see a few more of them.

A screenshot from the PC game The Inheritance of Crimson Manor. An atmospheric puzzle game. No jump scares. A very Jamesian vibe.

The sellotape looks great. A bit punky. We are all going to look impossibly cool.

Christmas Eve on a Haunted Hulk by Frank Cowper. One of the better short ghost stories I have read. I don't think he wrote many others like this?

Gadebridge Manor House in Hemel Hempstead. My friend and I used to play in the ruins as children on the way home from school. I wish I could say we saw a ghost but we didn't. It was so long ago that it almost seems that the ghosts of us could be found there.

The enjoyment of a ghost story may be increased by the ambience of the setting one reads it in don't you think?
