”I porträttet av mrs Stone såg hon ut som hon hade gjort i den sista drömmen jag sett henne: gammal, bräcklig och vithårig. Men trots hennes spröda kropp så fanns där en ondskefull livslåga som lyste av ren illvilja, en vitalitet som utstrålade en grymhet som gick ända in i märgen. Hennes smala, lömska ögon utstrålade ondska och hennes demonlika mun kröktes i ett elakt leende. Ansiktet var präglat av återhållen hemlighet och vedervärdig munterhet.” I denna volym presenteras tre av E. F. Bensons (1867-1940) mest berömda noveller, i översättning av Veronica Sandström: ”Busskonduktören”, ”Mannen som gick för långt” och ”Rummet i tornet” – samtliga ypperliga bevis på varför Benson idag anses vara en av den klassiska spökhistorians och skräckberättelsens stora mästare. Boken är tryckt i 600 handnumrerade exemplar och är rikligt illustrerad av Oskar Aspman. Utgåvan innehåller dessutom ett utförligt och initierat förord om Bensons liv och verk av Sten Wistrand.

Look out for the new BBC adaptation starring Anna Chancellor, Miranda Richardson and Mark Gatiss!Miss Elizabeth Mapp reigns supreme over the village of Tilling...until the advent of Mrs Emmeline Lucas, or 'Lucia' to her friends. No one could compete, surely, with Lucia's formidable armoury: her duchesses, her Italian, her financial speculations, her celebrated recipe for Lobster à la Riseholme. But Mapp will not relinquish her supremacy in local society so easily, and battle is joined between these two indomitable queens and their rather fickle allies.

Subtly brilliant comedy of social rivalry between the wars. Emmeline Lucas (known universally to her friends as Lucia) is an arch-snob of the highest order. In Miss Elizabeth Mapp of Mallards Lucia meets her match. Ostensibly the most civil and genteel of society ladies, there is no plan too devious, no plot too cunning, no depths to which they would not sink, in order to win the battle for social supremacy. Using as their deadly weapons garden parties, bridge evenings and charming teas, the two combatants strive to outcharm each other - and the whole of Tilling society - as they vie for the position of doyenne of the town.

Haynes, The Wayfarer's Weird leads you towards fae dangers, down lost tracks in time and deep into the liminal spaces of Britain and beyond.

The stars gave light enough for me to discern the figure as that of a man, but I could scarcely discover more. “Dark night, this,” I said. “Darker below,” he muttered, as though to himself; “darker, darker, darker.”Yorkshire: a land entwined with a distinctive tradition of uncanny literature and folklore, home to twilit towns thronging with restless ghosts, woods alive with the whispers of fairies and vast moorlands stalked by boggarts and barghests after dark.Exploring Yorkshire’s position as a heartland of British supernatural fiction, the stories and poems gathered here trace its weird literary heritage from medieval tales of shapeshifting spirits to the Gothic worlds of the Brontë sisters, and from wartime hauntings to modern folk horror. Including local legends from rare sources and unsettling stories from Arthur Machen, Sylvia Plath, Ted Hughes, Andrew Michael Hurley and many more, this collection offers glimpses of a stranger England hidden among the shadows of the dales.
