Told After Supper: Ghostly Tales for Christmas Eve

Playfully reviving the Victorian tradition of sharing ghost stories on Christmas Eve, Told After Supper is a witty collection of supernatural tales.In Jerome K. Jerome s macabre work, a cheerful gathering around the fire gives way to a series of increasingly bizarre and ghostly Christmas stories. All at once eerie, absurd, and delightfully satirical, Told After Supper brings Jerome s trademark humour to the haunted hearthside, parodying the popular ghost story while still conjuring moments of genuine suspense.First published in 1891, Told After Supper is a forgotten seasonal gem. Darkly comic, it is perfect Christmas reading for anyone who enjoys their festivities tinged with the supernatural.
