NIGHT SHIVERS

‘Moving, his candle was instantly extinguished, and in the verymoment of being left in the darkness he saw, standing in the doorway, awoman, resembling her who had haunted his dream overnight. He rushed withoutstretched hands to seize her, but clutched only air.' Night Shivers presents a treasure trove of the stories of Mrs J. H.Riddell, one of the greatest Victorian writers of ghost stories. Thesetales, many of which have been out of print for years, take the reader onfearful journeys into the gloomy haunts of old neglected houses, into aworld of prophetic dreams, out onto the wild terrain of Ireland toencounter a frightful banshee and even down into Hell itself. In thesefourteen short stories and one novella, The Uninhabited House, there isthe distillation of the best and most effective of Riddell'sspine-tingling supernatural fiction.
