Hardcover. Condition: New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. A first UK limited edition hardback (limited to 420 copies only). Published without a dust jacket. Unread. SYNOPSIS: "Featuring a gloriously grotesque and moon-soaked selection of new writings whose intent it is to capture and expand upon the darkness and sheer strangeness of first-wave Gothic literature. Never mind the cosy conventions into which the Gothic has settled over the past couple of centuries; INFERNAL MYSTERIES presents an altogether rawer and more primal take on the genre, very much rooted in the works of Poe, Shelley, Walpole, and "Monk" Lewis. The stories are: *Olivia by Albert Power; *Tabula Rasa by Richard Gavin; *Scourge by Sara Wilson; *The Bearded Nun, or The Saracen's Redemption by Tom Johnstone; *A Trifling Tale by Jon Horn; *Lorelei by J. Rosina Harlow; *Shadow, Ghost or Hellequin by Nina Antonia; *The Cardinal's Ring by Reggie Oliver; *Casa Magni by Lisa Moore-Smith; *To Vathek by Dmitri Akers; *Thirteen Castles South by Rhys Hughes; *Spolia by Aleksandra Ugelstad Elnæs; *The Rescue by Jonathan Eeds; *The Sailor's Bride by Isobel Granby; *The Grotto at Crennocken by Jonathan Wood; *Mrs Poole Will Speak Wrongly, However I Do It by Kate Meyer-Currey; *Cellmates by Craig S. Shoemake; *The Haunting of the Red Death by Aaron Padle." Packed weight 760gms. IN STOCK READY FOR DESPATCH.…
