Book excerpt: It's nearing Christmas Eve. All is calm, and snow is softly falling. The lampposts are lit, and the bare trees are all aglow in the dark streets of the Kingdom of North Gabriel. Our story begins with a homeless old woman named Eve on one cold winter night long ago. Eve awakens from a deep sleep on the doorstep of a manor house. She finds all the homes gone, the people have vanished, and there is only one road to walk on! Although lost and confused on this long and lonely road, Eve begins her journey with her pockets filled with worthless items. She encounters people on the road who are known as the "lost." She learns that even though the items are useless, they hold significant value to the lost. When Eve has given all her things away, she meets the very mysterious keeper of the road. Together they must travel where the lost gather--the Christmas gate! Only through the worthless gifts can they unlock the gate and set the lost free! But a very dark secret must be uncovered and a selfless sacrifice must be made before the gate will open to set the lost free. Will the sacrifice be made in time to save the lost before the sun goes down on Christmas Eve?

Download or read book Fireside Ghost Stories for Christmas Eve written by Charles Dickens and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-09-27 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ghost stories at Christmas can be traced back to pagan times - Yule and Saturnalia - when the Winter Solstice (like Hallowe'en and Wulpurgis Night) was viewed as a moment in space and time where the thinness of the boundaries between the supernatural and human worlds became remarkably plastic, and all manner of strange things were said to be seen and heard in the winter air. while we no longer have the old stories spoken in the old homes around the old fires by the old myth-keepers, let us sit around and enjoy some of the stories that would have sent shivers up the great-great-grandchildren of those little ones sitting around the Yule fire - the supernatural literature of the Victorians and Edwardians. Enclosed in this volume are tales of dark winter nights and harrowing encounters between the worlds of Man and the Hereafter. There are tales of cursed antiquities, otherworldly toy stores, possessed dolls, deals with the devil, and murderous cabin fever. I hope your Christmas is - as M. R. James put it "may be the cheerfuller for a story-book" which takes you back to a different world - one not mapped out, trending, or tweeted about, one dark, forbidding, and evocative. Perhaps I may be a luddite for saying it, but I find something strangely comforting in that. Something consoling and hushing and chilling. Perhaps you will, too.
