In the winter months, the cosiness of the hearth and armchair - or reading nook of choice - comes together with tales of creeping horror to form an enduring irresistible tradition of supernatural tales told - and read - in the long hours of darkness. Pairing up once again, Lucy Evans and Tanya Kirk present a new selection of vintage hearthside chillers, including strange tales of souls on the boundaries of life from W F Harvey and A M Burrage, a piece in which Christmas tree shopping leads to dire misfortune from Mildred Clingerman and a tale of jolly carolling gone sinister by L P Hartley.
