Can anybody recommend a cosy Christmas novel that's definitely NOT chick lit? A ghost story would be nice. I love traditional period ghost stories and modern one's that are more psychological and dark in nature. I have tried listening to and reading both Edith Wharton and Henry James but due to the dread factor/building suspense and unlike most books, I think that they translate best to TV It doesn't have to be a ghost story. I enjoyed Milly Johnson's Home for Christmas which isn't my usual choice of novel. I wouldn't want to go any lighter than that.
