Victorian Tales of Terror – New Edition
13th October 2019

‘The world of shadows and superstition that was Victorian England was unique. While the foundations of so much of our present knowledge of subjects like medicine, public health, electricity, chemistry and agriculture, were being mapped out, people could still believe in the existence of devils and demons. And why not? A good ghost story is pure entertainment. It was not until well into the twentieth century that ghost stories began to have a deeper significance and to become allegorical; in fact, to lose their charm. At what other point in literary history could a man, standing over the body of his fiancee, say such a line as this:

“Speak, hound! Or, by heaven, this night shall witness two murders instead of one!”

Those were the days.’
