Cold today but I still enjoyed my walks to and from school. Just a small number of trees are hanging on to their leaves. Skies of grey are prevalent.
Recently picked up another collection of ghost stories from Barnes & Noble. Started from the beginning of the book and have already come across a couple of wonderful stories that seemed vaguely familiar. I discovered I'd encountered them in another anthology I have.
The first is The Phantom Coach sometimes known as The Night Mail by Amelia B. Edwards. In it a sportsman on foot finds himself in a desolate area much farther from home than he anticipated traveling. An unexpected snowstorm hits and his safety is threatened. His only option is to depend on the kindness of strangers.
The second, The Old Nurse's Tale involves an orphaned girl and her nursemaid going to live with distant relatives of said girl in an isolated old English manor. Spookiness ensues.
Looks like this one will be released soon in a version illustrated by Seth. I have all the previously published stories in this series which is an attempt to revive the old Victorian tradition of telling ghost stories around Christmastime.
