Haunters at the Hearth

What a delight! This is the second Tales of the Weird anthology I've read, and just as good as the first. While a couple of stories didn't really connect with me, I enjoyed most of them immensely ("The Earlier Service," "Christmas Honeymoon," and "The Last Laugh" come to mind). None of them were really scary to me, expect maybe "The Wild Wood," for obvious reasons once you read it.

the british library tales of the weird christmas / winter collections have now become part of my christmas rituals. this issue was another excellent collection of cosy stories, varying from the funny to the horrifying, from the supernatural to the mysterious. 

favourites: 'the phantom coach' by amelia b. edwards, 'oberon road' by a.m. burrage, 'dr. browning's bus' by e.s. knights, 'whittington's cat' by eleanor smith, 'the earlier service' by margaret irwin, 'christmas honeymoon' by howard spring, 'at the chalet lartrec' by winston graham, 'the wild wood' by mildred clingerman (proceed with caution with this one), 'the waits' by l.p. hartley and 'don't tell cissie' by celia fremlin
