The Abbot's Ghost, or Maurice Treherne's Temptation, A Christmas Story (1867) by Louisa Mau Alcott is one of her blood and thunder tales, published under the pseudonym of A.M. Barnard that shows the darker side of the author. It portrays a Christmas house.
The Abbot's Ghost proved to be a bit of a disappointment. The writing is wonderful and I really enjoyed the feel of the story, however the ghost portion is so minimal that it hardly deserves to be the title. It focuses instead on the relationships of those within the house.
