Dark Encounters: A Collection of Ghost Stories

By William Croft Dickinson and Alistair Kerr

First published in 1963 by Harvill Press, Dark Encounters is an elegantly spine-tingling collection of ghost stories set in the brooding landscape of Scotland and often referring to real people, places and objects.

From a demonic book that brings its readers to an early death to the murderous spectre of a feudal baron, these tales are a welcome addition to the long and distinguished canon of Scottish ghost stories.

For those who seek the unnerving and the inexplicable, Dark Encounters is guaranteed to raise the hairs on the back of your neck.

Interesting read, reminds me of M.R. James ghost stories. These are interesting , short and light versions of M.R.James stories. Still I enjoyed reading them.
