Lost Souls Short Stories
Anthology of New and Classic Tales
Fore. Roger Luckhurst New Hardback
Postscript summary
In the 19th century tales of the supernatural shifted from haunted Gothic castles and fears of religious damnation to modern settings and psychological terror. While focusing on that ‘golden age’ of horror, with contributions from writers such as Ambrose Bierce, MR James and Arthur Machen, the tales of lost souls in this anthology also include a retelling of Orpheus and Eurydice, Dante’s ‘Purgatorio’ and works by modern authors.
Product information
Full publisher description
A collection of new tales with brilliant new writers and lost souls from the darkest corners of literature and legend: Maturin's Melmoth the Wanderer mingles with Dante's infernal spirits and a retold tale from Ovid's Metamorphoses. And with the dark fiction of William Hope Hodgson and Arthur Machen this promises to be a haunting, chilling read.
New, contemporary and notable writers featured are: Sara Dobie Bauer, Sarah L. Byrne, Rachael Cudlitz, C.R. Evans, Geneve Flynn, Adele Gardner, Anne Gresham, Sara M. Harvey, Kurt Hunt, Michael Matheson, J.A.W. McCarthy, John M. McIlveen, Jessica Nickelsen, Michael Penncavage, Lina Rather, Alexandra Renwick, Aeryn Rudel, Lizz-Ayn Shaarawi, Erin Skolney, Lucy A. Snyder, David Tallerman, and Damien Angelica Walters. These appear alongside classic stories by Mary Elizabeth Braddon, F. Marion Crawford, Washington Irving, Perceval Landon, Edith Wharton and more.
