Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Edited by Jack Dann (World Fantasy Award-winning co-editor of Dreaming Down Under) and Nick Gevers (acclaimed editor and book reviewer), Ghosts by Gaslight is a showcase collection of all-new stories of steampunk and supernatural suspense by modern masters of horror, fantasy, sf, and the paranormal. An absolutely mind-boggling gathering of some of today's very best dark storytellers--including Peter Beagle, James Morrow, Sean Williams, Gene Wolfe, Garth Nix, Marly Youmans, Jeffery Ford, and Robert Silverberg--Ghosts by Gaslight offers chilling gothic and spectral tales in a delightfully twisted Victorian and Edwardian vein. Think Henry James's Turn of the Screw and Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with a decidedly steampunk edge, and you're ready to confront Ghosts by Gaslight.

The iron shroud / James Morrow -- Music, when soft voices die / Peter S. Beagle -- The shaddowwes box / Terry Dowling -- The curious case of the moondawn daffodils murder / Garth Nix -- Why I was hanged / Gene Wolfe -- The proving of Smollett Standforth / Margo Lanagan -- The jade woman of the luminous star / Sean Williams -- Smithers and the ghosts of the Thar / Robert Silverberg -- The unbearable proximity of Mr. Dunn's balloons / John Langan -- Face to face / John Harwood -- Bad thoughts and the mechanism / Richard Harland -- The grave reflection / Marly Youmans -- Christopher Raven / Theodora Goss -- Rose Street attractors / Lucius Shepard -- Blackwood's baby / Laird Barron -- Mysteries of the Old Quarter / Paul Park -- The summer palace / Jeffrey Ford.
