"The Lamp in the Window is a wonderful take on the classic ghost story, featuring tales within tales, unexpected twists, and gruesome turns that would make Dickens and James proud. Beautifully written and gorgeously realised, it's a total delight."
Tim Lebbon, New York Times bestselling author
"There's a long tradition of telling ghost stories on Christmas Eve, and Tom Mead's novella conjures every bit of the atmosphere, suspense and enjoyment those words suggest. The Lamp in the Window is a delight to read and instantly one of my favourites of the genre."
Alison Littlewood, Shirley Jackson Award-winning author of A Cold Season and The Cottingley Cuckoo
Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin...
Each Christmas Eve, academic and antiquarian Roland Spence invites a select group of students to his quarters to indulge in a glass or two of port, and to listen to a ghostly tale by the fireside. It seems like an innocent enough traditionafter all, who doesn't enjoy a wintry chill at Christmastime? Decades later, one of Spence's students must revisit those half-remembered stories as a long-buried secret threatens to resurface...
Inspired by M.R. James, E.F. Benson, Algernon Blackwood et al, The Lamp in the Window is an eerie winter ghost story in the classic Victorian tradition.
