From a misanthropic pub landlord with an immoral plan in Arthur Conan Doyle’s ‘The Lonely Hampshire Cottage’ to Reginald Hill’s evocative ‘The Last Wolf’ with its twisted conclusion, 21 short stories are presented in this anthology. Often featuring a chilling or supernatural turn, they include works long out of print or not previously published, with contributions by EC Bentley, Patricia Highsmith and John Dickson Carr and biographical notes on each author.
A brand new anthology of previously unpublished and uncollected supernatural mysteries by some of the masters of the Golden Age - thrills, spills and chills perfect for Halloween.
It is said that books are written to bring sunshine into our dull, grey lives - to show us places we want to escape to, lives we want to live, people we want to love. But there are also stories that can only be found in the deepest, darkest corners of the library. Stories about the unexplained, of lost souls, of things that go bump before the silence. Before the screaming.
And some stories just disappear. Stories printed in old newspapers, broadcast live on the wireless, sometimes not even published at all - these are the stories you cannot find on even the dustiest of library shelves.
This follow-up volume to the bestselling Ghosts from the Library resurrects forgotten tales of the supernatural by some of the most accomplished mystery authors of all time. Close the windows. Draw the curtains. Just don't let the lights go out...
