Eighteen brief entertainments featuring one of the late Miss Allingham's amusing sidelines -- hosts of ghosts and at least one ghoul perform in chillers that are traditional at the base, lit by candles and hurricane lamps, pointed with a quite wicked humor.

This minibus should go far with those who like their ghosts substantial.
