”Den kröp upp på min hals, fruktansvärt långsamt, några millimeter i taget och dess tyngd tvingade mig att spänna mina ryggmuskler. Den nådde till hakan, den snuddade vid mina läppar – och jag stod stilla och uthärdade allt medan den täckte mitt ansikte med sin enorma, slemmiga, stinkande kropp och omfamnade mig med sina otaliga ben. Skräcken gjorde mig galen.” Från mörka och mystiska Egypten kommer Skalbaggen, en grotesk varelse ”skapad varken av Gud eller människa”, en hamnskiftare besatt av att söka hämnd för ett brott som fordom begicks mot dess avgudadyrkare. I en oförsonlig jakt genom London förföljer den utan nåd sina offer och ingen tycks fredad från dess hypnotiska, onda makt. Richard Marshs (1857–1915) sällsamma, fängslande och originella roman, som när den gavs ut faktiskt sålde bättre än Dracula, är en skräckklassiker: en ockult detektivberättelse och ett fin de siècle-melodrama som skrämde slag på det senviktorianska samhällets läsare. Här presenteras "Skalbaggen" (1897) i oförkortat skick, översatt av KG Johansson som också har skrivit en informativ efterskrift till utgåvan och försett den med oumbärliga kommentarer.

'The noises were fuzzy in the darkness. Like hearing a domestic dispute through an apartment wall. As a cop, it was a scenario I'd experienced many times as I'd approached a stranger's front door. But this was different. This time I wasn't going anywhere. I wasn't moving at all. Couldn't move at all.'In May 2009 Napa cop Richard Marsh suffered a severe stroke that submerged him in the terrifying world of a Locked-in sufferer. Brain activity remains but sufferers have no way of communicating with the outside world. In fact, 90 percent of sufferers die within four months of onset. Locked In follows Richard's extraordinary race against time. First, to prove his existence to the medical team and then to beat the odds of surviving Locked-in syndrome. Written with the intensity of a thriller, we witness astonishing moments in his journey, such as Richard finally hearing a neurosurgeon say, 'I think there's someone in here'. Now fully recovered, Richard's story is one of triumph that will captivate and inspire.

He looked up at the picture rail, and there was the hand holding on to a hook with three fingers, and slowly scratching the head of the parrot with the fourth.In 1919, W. F. Harvey published 'The Beast with Five Fingers', his quintessential tale of the disembodied hand with a murderous mind of its own, and its position as one of weird fiction's true classics was cemented by the 1946 film adaptation. Seeking to trace the origins of the haunted hand story back into the nineteenth century, and to showcase its influence on writers of weird fiction from the 1920s to the modern day, horror expert Brian J. Showers presents a new collection of classics from the well-thumbed oeuvres of Sheridan Le Fanu and Guy de Maupassant through to miniature masterpieces from the hands of Jean Ray, Mark Valentine and many more.Featuring ghostly hands, hands possessed by demons and unexplained hands where no hands should be, prepare to enter a world of nightmares run amok as the vice-grip of terror takes hold.
