"Three stories, three ghosts. There is a dangerous woman in a picture in a room in a tower. A young woman marries an older man and arrives at his house. But his dead wife is still there. A dead man walks through a house every night because he wants the people there to catch his killer. Sometimes the dead return..."

I had some free time this morning, and decided to give this little book a go... and I thoroughly enjoyed these three stories!
The simplified style of writing made me remember the books I used when I was first learning English as a foreign student... good old memories!
And the three short stories are great old-fashioned ghost tales, really enjoyable, and most adequate for Halloween.
A little book that will soon continue its travel to another lucky reader who will be pleasantly scared. :)

I'm not a big fan of short stories or ghost stories but these were quick to read and varied. I went to the house in Rye where EF Benson lived. It didn't have a tower as far as I remember!

Read from the Mixed Fiction Bookbox, but left in to travel further.

Three very short and easily read ghost stories. I am not a great fan of ghost stories but these were very accessible even for a non fan! All 3 had a resolution (of a suitable sort). I do think this would make a suitable short book for Halloween but as I have not joined in those for the last 4 years - mostly because this is not a favoured genre for me, I will leave this to travel further in the Bookbox.

Taken from the Short Fiction Bookbox... can't resist a ghost story 👻

Journal Entry 16 by wingPlum-crazywing at Brighouse, West Yorkshire United Kingdom on Sunday, June 4, 2023
Well this came out of the Short Fiction Bookbox yesterday, was read & has gone straight back in the box to find another reader. So what did I think of it?.....

"The Woman in the Black Coat" I found reasonably creepy & one that I think would be ideal for BBC4's Christmas ghost story that's usually shown on Christmas Eve.

"Imray Came Back" was more of a mystery & my least favourite of the three.

"The Room in the Tower" was a creepyish tale where a dream nightmare comes true but I felt it was a bit rushed in its ending.

These book of three short stories are actually aimed at younger readers or those for whom English is a second language. No matter, whoever they're aimed they're an eerie trio & I passed a very happy half an hour in their company.
