Made for readers with a taste for the spooky, it looks right on a bookish Halloween shelf and keeps its gothic charm through the rest of the year.

Getting started

Lift off the lid. Place one standard tealight in the space at the back. Add water with a few drops of fragrance oil to the dish, or place a wax melt in the dry dish, then light the tealight. If you are using oil, top up the water before it runs dry.

Safety first

• Use one standard tealight only.
• Always remove the lid before lighting, and keep it off while the burner is in use.
• Place on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
• Never leave a lit burner unattended, and keep it away from children, pets, curtains and anything flammable.
• Never add water to wax melts, and do not move the burner while the wax is liquid.
• Do not let the dish boil dry.
• Let the burner cool completely before moving, cleaning or refilling it.
