Περιγραφή
These twenty-two stories take the reader into the isolated and untamed wilderness of unholy rights, witches’ curses, sinister village traditions and ancient horrors–with beautiful illustrations.
They stalk the moors at night, the deep forests, cornered fields and dusky churchyards, the narrow lanes and old ways of these ancient places, drawing upon the haunted landscapes of folk-horror…
This richly illustrated anthology gathers together classic short stories from masters of supernatural fiction including Shirely Jackson, M. R. James, Edith Nesbit, Thomas Hardy, Robert Louis Stevenson, Sheridan Le Fanu and Arthur Machen, alongside lesser-known voices in the field including Eleanor Scott and Margery Lawrence, and popular writers less bound to the horror genre, such as Thomas Hardy and E. F. Benson.
These are damnable tales, selected and beautifully illustrated by Richard Wells.
“Anthologies don’t get much better than this masterful assembly of 23 horror shorts, first published between 1872 and 1964…This is a book that demands to be read aloud–perhaps on a darkening winter evening before a roaring fire.”
— STARRED review, Publishers Weekly
