On holiday in Keldstone visiting his nephew, Jim, blanket manufacturer Athelstan Digby agrees to look after the old bookshop on the ground floor of his lodgings while his hosts are away. On the first day of his tenure, a vicar, a chauffeur and an out-of-town stranger enquire after The Life and Death of Mr. Badman by John Bunyan. When a copy mysteriously arrives at the shop in a bundle of books brought in by a young scamp, and is subsequently stolen, Digby moves to investigate the significance of the book along with his nephew, and the two are soon embroiled in a case in which the stakes have risen from antiquarian book-pinching to ruthless murder.First published in a limited run in 1934, this exceedingly rare and fast-paced bibliomystery set against the landscapes of Yorkshire is long overdue its return to print.

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.

"e;Some Spirits Return Not for Rest, but for Reckoning."e;The journey into the twilight world of S. Baring-Gould continues. In this second volume of his celebrated supernatural works, the master of the Victorian "e;weird tale"e; delves even deeper into the shadows of the English countryside. These are stories for the dead of winter narratives where the past is a living, breathing entity that refuses to stay buried beneath the floorboards of history. The Architect of Atmospheric Terror: Baring-Gould remains unsurpassed in his ability to find terror in the everyday. Volume 2 elevates his signature style, blending his expertise as an antiquarian with a dark, psychological insight into the human condition. Here, the haunting is often a social or moral consequence; a ghost is not just a spirit, but a debt that must be paid. Whether exploring the silent corridors of a crumbling manor or the windswept desolation of a country churchyard, Baring-Gould crafts an atmosphere of "e;uncomfortable reality"e; that has influenced generations of supernatural writers. As a peer to the great ghost story writers of the late 19th century, Baring-Gould provides a crucial link between traditional folklore and modern psychological horror. This volume is an essential cornerstone for collectors of classic ghost stories, Victorian literature, and British folk horror. The candles are dimming.

A Book of Ghosts: Volume 3 showcases the author at the peak of his narrative powers, weaving tales that are as much about the fragility of the human mind as they are about the restless spirits that haunt it. These stories represent the final bridge between the Victorian Gothic and the modern psychological thriller. The Final Descent into the Unknown: In this concluding volume, Baring-Gould moves beyond the traditional "e;vengeful spirit"e; to explore more nuanced forms of haunting. Here, ghosts are often echoes of a life lived, impressions left upon the physical world that can be felt by those sensitive enough to listen. His mastery of pacing and "e;quiet dread"e; ensures that the terror comes not from the sudden appearance of a specter, but from the slow realization that one is never truly alone. Drawing on themes of isolation, memory, and the unseen, this collection solidifies Baring-Gould's place as a pioneer of the "e;subtle"e; supernatural. For fans of the British ghost story tradition, this volume completes a vital trilogy.
