Overview

Dedicated to that ominous strain of horror that sends a shiver down your spine, this selection of masterful tales gathers the weird and wonderful from a rich tradition of genre writing. The sound of a sinister tread in an apparently abandoned house; mysterious crimes committed in the dead of night; a glimpse of a monstrous apparition through the murky gloom: all find their home here.

This latest anthology in the popular series of Gothic Fantasy collections features new stories by contemporary authors alongside classic tales by E.T.A. Hoffmann, Robert Louis Stevenson, Edith Nesbit, Sheridan Le Fanu, Edith Wharton, M.R. James and more. The modern writers included are: Ramsey Campbell, P.G. Galalis, Kevin J.J. Gallivan, Ali Habashi, Maria Haskins, S.R. Masters, Damien Mckeating, John Moralee, Aeryn Rudel, David Schmidt, Cody Schroeder, Shana Scott, Anna Taborska, D.A. Watson, Nemma Wollenfang, and Anna Ziegelhof.
