Story
Almost always when we think of Ghost Stories, we first think of those written by the Victorians. 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 reading and listening pleasure.

Story
Hester (1883) is a dramatic story of female power and family tensions within Victorian society. Using her own money, Catherine Vernon manages to save the family bank from collapse after her cousin John absconds with some of its money. As the matriarch of Redborough, Catherine is used to commanding authority, but this is challenged with the arrival of John’s strong and capable teenage daughter, Hester. Ignorant of her father’s conduct, Hester takes against Catherine and a mutual antipathy soon sets in. A masterpiece of domestic realism, the novel is one of Mrs Oliphant’s most admired works.

Story
Three BBC radio adaptations of famous novels by the prolific 19th-century author Mrs Oliphant - plus an episode of Reading Aloud, with extracts from her autobiography. Sometimes called ‘the feminist Trollope’, Margaret Oliphant wrote more than 100 works of fiction in a wide variety of genres, ranging from novels of small-town life to historical tales and supernatural stories. Included here are three of her best-loved works, brimming with dry wit, perceptive irony and flawed but fascinating heroines.

Story
Margaret Oliphant Wilson was born on 4th April 1828 in East Lothian in Scotland but spent her childhood in Midlothian, Glasgow and Liverpool. She wrote from a young age and in 1849 had her first novel about the Scottish Free Church movement, a cause her parents sympathized with, published. Her next, ‘Caleb Field’, a couple of years later, led to a lifelong association with Blackwood Magazine to which she contributed more than a 100 articles and reviews.

Story
'The Library Window' is a ghost story. A young girl, visiting her aunt in Scotland, finds herself increasingly intrigued by a mysterious window in the house opposite her own favourite window, where she sits to read. There seems to be a local mystery about the window, including a dispute about whether there is even a window there at all. Increasingly this doubt seems odd to the girl as the days go by, as she can see into the room opposite and make out furniture and objects there. Then one day she sees someone in that room....

Story
Una stanza nascosta all'interno di un misterioso castello dalla forma tentacolare; una ragazza bellissima, apparsa dal nulla e impossibile da toccare; uno spirito misterioso che si manifesta nelle rovine di un vecchio maniero. Giocando sul contrasto tra la paura e il fascino dell'ignoto, in questa raccolta di racconti horror Margaret Oliphant sfrutta gli schemi classici del genere gotico in maniera innovativa, arricchendoli di descrizioni realistiche e suggestive che gettano il lettore al centro della storia, davanti al confine che separa sanità e follia.

Story
Mortimer è un padre che ha portato la sua famiglia a vivere in un vecchio maniero scozzese. Un giorno, nelle vecchie rovine abbandonate di fianco alla casa, suo figlio inizia a sentire delle voci misteriose e subito dopo si ammala gravemente. Eppure il bambino non ha paura: piuttosto prova un enorme dolore per quell'apparizione, e disperato chiede al padre di risolvere il mistero e aiutare l'anima perduta a ritrovare la via.

Story
Quest'anno i festeggiamenti di Natale nella casa di campagna dei Daintrey sono miti e contenuti, smorzati dalla tristezza per la recente morte del figlio maggiore di Sir Robert e Lady Beresford. Sono presenti solo amici intimi e parenti, incluso il giovane Edmond Coventry, guardia di Sir Robert. Un giardinetto recintato con al centro una grande urna collega il vialetto attorno alla casa; ed è nel giardino che Edmond incontra una bellissima ragazza vestita di bianco, che smuove il suo cuore come nessuna ha mai fatto prima.

Story
Nessuno sa quando sia iniziata di preciso la leggenda della stanza segreta nel castello di Gowrie, eppure tutti la conoscono. Dopotutto, vista la forma irregolare del castello, le sue grandi dimensioni e la disposizione tentacolare degli alloggi, l'esistenza di una stanza del genere non sarebbe poi così improbabile, oltre che facile da nascondere. Si dice però che nessuno tranne il conte, il suo erede e un estraneo fidato ne conoscano la posizione.
