Description
The Christmas season, when darkness claims much of the day and a strange mixture of merriment and uneasy anticipation fills the hearts of mortals, is an ideal time for mysterious and frightening tales. This anthology presents six spooky Christmas stories by well-known and lesser-known British authors from the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, including Algernon Blackwood and Charlotte Riddell, that have not previously been translated into Czech. In the spirit of the classic Victorian tradition, these stories often blur the boundary between our world and the next. They lead readers to old country houses filled with dark corners and rooms steeped in legend, as well as to a rugged coastline whose wild beauty captivates a young couple who decide to settle there despite its sinister reputation. Light a candle and enter a world where death is not the end.
