Tales of the Supernatural

C. Dickens, E.A. Poe, E. Nesbit, F.M. CrawfordRetold by Peter Foreman

Mystery & horror

Four chilling tales take you into a world where anything can happen.
Charles Dickens adds extra horror to his famous tale of a haunted railwayman. In Edgar Allan Poe’s classic story, ‘Ligeia’, the ghost of a beautiful woman returns and defeats death. E. Nesbit shows us how there really is a good reason to be scared of the dark. And F. M. Crawford tells of a ship’s passenger who encounters a horrible ‘thing’ in his cabin.
