Synopsis
Tales for a winter evening, when the curtains are drawn, the wind-blown ivy taps against the glass, and a clammy fog swirls round the house...Tales for a summer night when the moon casts strange shadows and the grass rustles as though someone were passing...Tales to read in a fire-lit library, where secret knowledge is locked in dusty parchments...Tales to remember in the crypt of an ancient church or the dank chill of a graveyard...Tales which will haunt you long after you have closed this book and turned out the light.
