It was tough but I limited my vote to my three favourites. I didn't anticipate voting for a western, but I really enjoyed the preview for The Virginian.

Since it's not in its spoiler I'll note that Lord of the World is a religious-themed book written by a Catholic priest. It could be an interesting discussion.

The complete The Haunted House is a loose anthology novella made up of chapters by various authors (coincidentally including, I just found out, Elizabeth Gaskell). Each chapter covers a haunting in a different room of the same house. It was Dickens' Christmas offering one year, the same as A Christmas Carol and The Cricket on the Hearth were in other years. The nomination download link is for two of Dickens' own chapters from the novella (the third mentioned in its spoiler is oddly not included) plus two separate short stories. If anyone is interested, I noticed that the full novella of The Haunted House is also available in the library; here's the epub.
