This month’s story is a ghost story fitting for the dark winter nights. The Phantom Coach by Amelia Edwards is, in many ways, typical of a Victorian ghost story, but I think there are two aspects in particular that make it interesting and worthy of study. One is the way that the story hinges on belief systems and ideas and the other is the way the story is structured. As we will see, the two aspects are linked. As always, you will benefit most if you read the story for yourself: writ.rs/thephantomcoach
