The Blue Room and Other Tales: The Ghost Stories of Lettice Galbraith

Edited and with a Biography by Alastair Gunn Foreword by Melissa Edmundson Lettice Galbraith’s collection of supernatural tales, New Ghost Stories, first appeared in 1893 and became one of the most popular (and most reprinted) ghostly collections of the final decade of the 19th century. This volume from Wimbourne Books contains all the tales from New Ghost Stories (”The Case of Lady Lukestan”, The Trainer’s Ghost, The Ghost in the Chair, In the Séance Room, The Missing Model and The Ghost’s Revenge), as well as the later story The Blue Room, and the previously unpublished tale, The Ghost of Vittoria Pandelli, extracted from the novel Burnt Spices (1906). Lettice Galbraith, the person, has until now, been somewhat of an enigma. Despite extensive research by some of the most eminent aficionados of the genre, no historical or biographical details of this forgotten writer have hitherto been found. However, in this volume, author and anthologist Alastair Gunn reveals the true identity of the mysterious Miss Galbraith. This volume contains a complete Biography and Bibliography of the author as well as a Foreword by literary historian Melissa Edmundson.
