The book I'm reviewing is actually entitled 'Collected Stories', but as LibraryThing don't have it listed and the opening story of this book is 'The Cold Embrace', I opted for this as being the nearest to it.

'The Cold Embrace' features two young lovers who have to part for a while. They vow to remain faithful to each other. Separation makes the heart of one grow fonder, yet with the other it's a case of out of sight, out of mind. An oath they both swore before parting comes back to haunt the male half of the pair.

'The Shadow in the Corner' is a haunted house tale in which history repeats itself. 'At Chrighton Abbey' is a similar story but is much longer.

'Eveline's Visitant' is an 'I'll come back and haunt you when you least expect it' tale with a sad ending.

'Good Lady Ducayne' is the only non-ghost story. Although it's neither horror nor supernatural as such, is does have elements of both those genres. ( )
