36. The Mistress in Black by Rosemary Timperley via @biblioasis.bsky.social

My last read in this year’s set of Seth’s Christmas Ghost Stories. Nice little read that doesn’t rise above your basic “haunted building” story, but that’s okay because it’s a tasty bit of comfort food.

35. Lady Ferry by Sarah Orne Jewett via @biblioasis.bsky.social

A young girl sent to live with her aunt and uncle while her parents travel abroad comes face-to-face with a family legend —- a woman who may be immortal, or who may be mad. A sweet, melancholy story about the power of myth and death.

34. Lucky’s Grove by H. Russell Wakefield via @biblioasis.bsky.social

Part of the annual “Seth’s Christmas Ghost Stories Series.” A Christmas tree is dug out of the ground on a hallowed plot of land, and odd events escalate, leading to a fiery and frightening conclusion. Chilling and fun.
