''The Wreck of the'' Lodewijk ''and Other Ghostly Stories'' is a slim volume of thoroughly British [[GhostFiction ghost stories]] by Creator/GeorgeKnight, and including the titular tale in which SS ''Lodewijk'' sank – not as quietly as appears – in a storm in 1914, off UsefulNotes/EastAnglia.
The other three stories are set in a country church and its undercroft or crypt; on an isle in [[UsefulNotes/{{Scotland}} the Hebrides]]; and in the [[UsefulNotes/TheLondonUnderground Underground]].
----
!! Tropes especially notable in these stories include:
* AfterlifeExpress: Possibly.
* AltumVidetur: In addition to the Jamesian trope of SmartPeopleKnowLatin, the story, ''St Oswald's,'' includes a rather unnerving Latin inscription.
* {{Arcadia}} / {{Barsetshire}}: In the old sense of Death's being also in Arcadia. Three of the protagonists are – or, rather, they meant to be and had thought they were – on nice, restful holidays, by the sea or in the countryside....
* BigBoosHaunt: And you never know what is until you are already there.
* [[UsefulNotes/ATouchOfClassEthnicityAndReligion The Church of England]]: Crypts and all. TheVicar seems unaware that his parish church is UnholyGround.
* CoolTrain: Well, a chilling one, actually. Possibly, er, South-bound.
* GhostShip: Subverted. It sank … and the ship's not what you need to worry about.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: With fathomless motives. There is no reason to stop and inquire about those motives, either, when you could be running away.
* SinisterSubway: One might very well think that....
* SteamNeverDies: Disturbingly subverted on the Underground.
* TheUndead: Whatever that is in the crypt, it's Not Nice. Probably not an EldritchAbomination, though....
* WeatherReportNarration: With shipwrecks and wintry London rains in three of the four stories, this is inevitable.
