Weird Women & Haunted Houses

Various
19th Century 20th Century American-UK Horror Short Story

Weird Women & Haunted Houses

As much as I rarely buy newly published books, I make exceptions for curations of ghost stories and new printings of old, often forgotten work. This is a special Halloween review of Weird Women and Haunted Houses.

Lark Rise to Candleford

Flora Thompson
Contemporary UK Memoir

Lark Rise to Candleford
