A Night on the Moor & Other Tales of Dread (Tales of… by Robert Murray Gilchrist

Above average collection of Victorian era spook stories that for once isn't a pastiche of James or Le Fanu. The stories, especially the later ones, tend towards the Decadent and the supernatural does not always appear.

The one fault is a tendency towards romance sameness so best taken in smaller doses. Still, worth seeking out.
