I found this great book recently over at Garrison Keillor's book store in St. Paul. It contains seven "spine-chilling stories of the Victorian age." One, Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad is a favorite of mine. Creepy events begin to occur after a professor finds an old whistle in the ruins of a church and then puckers his lips and blows it, literally and figuratively. Author M.R. James does a great job of setting the scene and then letting the reader's imagination run wild.
