Complete and unabridged.

A pocket sized book - 10 x 15.5 cm. The greatest of all story writers, Montague Rhodes James, summarised the qualities of a ghost story as "malevolence and terror, the glare of evil faces, the stony grin of unearthly malice, pursuing forms in darkness, long-drawn, distant screams, together with a modicum of blood, shed with deliberation".
The stories in this anthology all meet these requirements, and they range from the traditional ghost story which is based on folklore and expressed in characteristically gothic fashion to the psychological ghost story where the horror may be in the mind of the beholder, and to the revenging spirit that lies in wait to exact vengeance. This is a book to be relished by the fireside, with the curtains drawn against ghoulies and ghosties and long-legged beasties, and things that go bump in the night.
Marcus Clapham, the editor of this anthology, is a publisher who has written, co-written and anthologised over a dozen books on subjects from Scottish tartans to metaphysical poetry.
