"Told After Supper" by Jerome K. Jerome is a collection of humorous ghost stories written during the late 19th century. This work captures the festive spirit of Christmas Eve as it explores the tradition of telling ghost stories among friends and family during this time. The book revolves around the theme of supernatural encounters and the folkloric characters associated with them, all served with Jerome's characteristic wit and satirical flair.

Each story presents a blend of humor and pathos, showcasing eccentric ghosts and their often comical interactions with the living. From the faithful ghost of Johnson and his lost love, Emily, to a series of misadventures involving a miser's hidden treasure and other eccentric spirits, the tales reflect a lighthearted take on the ghost story genre. The prose captures the essence of camaraderie
