Plot summary

Reception
[edit]Bob Barker reviewed The Mammoth Book of Victorian & Edwardian Ghost Stories for Arcane magazine, rating it a 7 out of 10 overall.[1] Barker comments that "Disappointingly few of the 43 tales have a sense of fun, but then these were people busy with marital rape and fitting small boys in chimneys. I'd have liked to have seen it stretch a little but you can't fault its style, and the editor's notes are brief and sharp. A splendid read."[1]
