Tales for Twilight: 200 Years of Scottish Ghost Stories

Tales for Twilight offers a spine-tingling selection of unnerving tales by writers from James Hogg in the early eighteenth
century to James Robertson, very much alive in the twenty-first. Scottish authors have proved to be exceptionally good at
writing ghost stories.
Perhaps it’s because of the tradition of oral storytelling that has stretched over centuries, including poems and ballads
with supernatural themes. The golden age was during the Victorian and Edwardian period, but the ghost story has
continued to evolve and remains popular to this day.
Includes stories from Sir Walter Scott, George Mackay Brown, Muriel Spark, Margaret Oliphant, Robert Louis Stevenson,
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Guy Boothby, Algernon Blackwood, Eileen Bigland, Ronald Duncan, James Robertson and Ian
Rankin.
