The Mistletoe Bride by Kate Mosse

The Mistletoe Bride & Other Haunting TalesThe Mistletoe Bride & Other Haunting Tales by Kate Mosse
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Some traditional ghost stories, some subtle stories of loss and grief and a fitting circular route where the collection begins and ends with the poor Mistletoe Bride from two different interpretations.  An elegant collection full of unease. My particular favourites were ‘The Revenant’ and ‘On Harting Hill’. The finishing touch is the wonderful illustrations by Rohan Daniel Eason, which add to the magic of the collection. Thoroughly recommended.
