Un regalo perfecto para Navidad y para leer al amor de la lumbre.¿Qué hace que las historias victorianas de fantasmas sean tan perfectas para leer al calor de una chimenea en una noche oscura?

Un género en el que algunas eminentes damas novelistas, especialistas en lo escalofriante, marcaron tendencia.
