The Mistletoe Bride and Other Haunting Tales

This is a wonderfully atmospheric collection of 14 stories from the author of Labyrinth and Sepulchre, inspired by ghost stories, traditional folk tales, and country legends from England and France. Here you will encounter spirits and ghosts seeking revenge, grief-stricken women and haunted men coming to terms with their destiny-including "La Fille de Melisande"; "Red Letter Day"; "The Lending Library"; and "The House on the Hill," as well as the title story-all rooted in the elemental landscapes of Sussex, Brittany, and the Languedoc. "These eerie tales are perfect for stormy winter darkness."-Daily Mail (London)
