Fantasy and Horror
It is England in the 1880s. These are dark days for the poor and downtrodden. But darker still are the things which go unseen, things not of this world which lurk in the mists and shadows waiting to prey on the unwary. Here is a record of the sinister and terrifying encounters experienced by M. R. Templeton, museum archivist and researcher whose job it is to identify ancient artefacts and writings. But this seemingly straightforward task brings him face to face with malevolent forces as he discovers the origins of these strange objects. He uncovers the horrors that befell those who once owned them. For they, having dared to disturb that which should not have been disturbed found themselves pursued by unimaginable evil.
Every account is filled with brooding and menace, with tales ranging from the eerie and unearthly to the macabre and demonic.
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
I found the various stories enchanting, particularly since they are written in an authentic prose style appropriate to the Victorian settings. It is a rare pleasure to read such colourful and atmospheric evocations of the places and people in these miniature tales. The horror element is part of a well-established genre, yet one cannot help being gripped every time by the terrifying predicament that ensnares the characters.
