About the Book

A collection of 3 Victorian Ghost Stories, Curious Tales for Christmas comprise three pieces of ghostly horror, and great fun they are. The first is an American ghost story by Ambrose Bierce set in the Deep South. Playing with Fire is an Arthur Conan Doyle piece in which a seance takes place in an artist's studio, with unexpected and spooky results. Bram Stoker is the featured artist in the final piece, The Judge's House. Royalty: $35.00 individually. $50.00 together. The Middle Toe of the Right Foot' by Ambrose Bierce. Set in 1800's Texas, a man who tricks a suspected murderer into settling an argument by means of a knife duel in a deserted house with a satisfyingly creepy ending. Cast Size: 1M, Running Time: 15 minutes. Playing with Fire by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Set in Victorian London, it features a staple of that time- the séance. An experienced Scottish medium is persuaded to join an enthusiastic but inexperienced group with disastrous, unicorn-rampaging results. Cast Size: 3 M, 1F. Running Time: 20 minutes. The Judge's House by Bram Stoker. A screenwriter is sent on retreat to Cork to finish a script but discovers the supposedly perfect house he's renting is haunted by one of it's former residents, a vengeful hanging Judge with an army of rats in tow. Cast Size: 3m, 1F with doubling. Running Time: 45 minutes.
