From the publisher
A new collection of 8 stories demonstrating Collins as one of the great ghost story writers of the Victorian era, on the 200th anniversary year of his birth. It features a new introduction by Xavier Aldana Reyes, exploring Wilkie Collins' contribution to the ghost story form, as well as the rarely anthologised story 'The Last Coachman'.
Vengeful spirits, mysterious revenants and haunted objects stalk the pages of Wilkie Collins' short fiction, and yet his reputation as a sensation and detective novelist has long overshadowed his inventive contributions to the ghost story genre.
Drawing from across the writer's career, Xavier Aldana Reyes presents eight stories of the strange and uncanny to celebrate this lesser-known side of the Collins' imaginative and ground-breaking fiction, guiding the reader into a candlelit night in which unearthly forces - and inescapable doom - lie in wait.
