Almost always when we think of Ghost Stories, we first think of those written by the Victorians. Whatever the reasons given or proffered the reality and known facts are that if you want a really good ghost story to bring that edge of chill, that foreboding of dread, that feeling that in an empty house we are not quite alone and that sometimes the sharp, sheer shock of what just happened is upon us then look no further than ‘The Victorian Ghost Story’ for your listening pleasure.

In 1919, Delano, Georgia, appoints its first chief of police. Honest and hardworking, the new chief is puzzled when young men start to disappear. But his investigation is ended by the fatal blast from a shotgun. Delano's second chief-of-police is no hero, yet he is also disturbed by what he sees in the missing-persons bulletins. In 1969, when Delano's third chief takes over, the unsolved disappearances still haunt the police files.

"For mere end tredive år siden, da jeg rodede i et skab i min mormors hjem, fandt jeg et stort politimesterskilt. Det var bulet og mærket af dyrehagl og bar stadig spor af indtørret blod. Det havde tilhørt min bedstefar, der var død med det på sin uniform, mere end ti år før jeg blev født. Historien om hans død, sådan som min bedstemor berettede den for mig, dannede grundlaget for denne bog, men så lidt fik jeg at vide, og så meget har jeg broderet på det, at begivenheden, som alt andet i bogen, må betragtes som fiktion.
