S. Baring-Gould ~8 hr read

Twenty-odd chilling tales from a Victorian folklorist who collected the uncanny the way others collect coins.

S. Baring-Gould, antiquarian, hymn-writer, and tireless gatherer of legend, assembled these ghost stories from decades of magazine work and his own travels, including the Icelandic terror of 'Glámr,' drawn from his study of the sagas. Ranging from the eerie to the grimly comic, they carry the authority of a man steeped in genuine folklore. Read it for classic English ghost stories with deep roots, from one of the great Victorian antiquarians of the strange.
