M. Y. Halidom ~6 hr read

At the ancient inn called Ye Headless Lady, a club of friends gathers to trade tales, the Phantom Flea, the Spirit Lovers, the Glacier King, the Mermaid, and other marvels of the Wonder Club.

M. Y. Halidom's 1899 collection is a genial Victorian frame-tale gathering of fantasy and horror stories. Cozy, imaginative, delightfully eerie. Read it for an old-fashioned club of storytellers spinning ghostly and fantastical yarns by the fire, in the tradition of convivial supernatural anthologies.
