I'm sorry, I don't know who the main characters are as I haven't read the story.
I really can't tell you who the main characters are in the 'Christmas with the Dead' short story because I haven't read it. However, based on the title, I can guess that there might be a character who is alive and is somehow connected to the dead during Christmas. It could be an old man who has lost his wife and during Christmas, he starts to experience strange things related to her spirit. Or it could be a young girl who is the only one in her family who can see the dead during the Christmas celebrations.
Greta Conroy, Gabriel's wife, is also a main character. Her past and her relationship with Gabriel play important roles in the story. Her reminiscences about a former lover add depth to the narrative.
Since I haven't read 'the dead room christmas ghost story', it's difficult to determine the main characters. It might be that there is a caretaker of the place where the dead room is located. This caretaker could be one of the main characters who first notices the strange goings - on. There could also be a local resident who has some knowledge about the history of the dead room and helps the protagonist deal with the ghost. Another possibility is that the ghost itself could be considered a main character, as the story would likely revolve around its presence and actions.
I'm not sure exactly who the main characters are without reading the story. But it could be the person who discovers the dead hand. Maybe they are a detective or just an ordinary person caught up in a strange situation.

Rick Grimes is often a main character in the 'The Walking Dead' universe, so he might be one of the main characters in the short story as well.
In many 'The Book of the Dead' short stories, the main characters can vary. Sometimes there is a character who is on a quest for knowledge about the afterlife. This character could be a scholar or a curious individual. There may also be a character who has a special connection to the spiritual world, perhaps a seer or a medium. Additionally, there could be antagonists, like dark spirits or forces that try to disrupt the journey of the soul or the understanding of the 'Book of the Dead' principles.
Since I don't know the story, it's hard to say for sure. But there could be the dead woman herself, perhaps a detective or investigator if it's a mystery - type story, and people who knew her like her family or friends.
Since I haven't had the chance to read the 'London Book of the Dead' short story, I can only speculate. The main characters could be the souls of the departed, with the story delving into their unfinished business in London. Or it could be the gravediggers, morgue attendants, or historians who are uncovering the secrets of the dead in London. There could also be a central character who is on a journey to understand the significance of the dead in the city's history and culture.
Since I haven't read the story, I can't say for sure. But I assume the man who is called dead is one of the main characters. There might also be people around him like his family or friends who are affected by his so - called death.
There could be the lone wanderer, a character who is just trying to make their way in the wild west on their own terms. They might be a bit of an anti - hero, doing what they need to survive.
