Haunted House Short Stories

Description

Following the great success of our Gothic Fantasy deluxe edition short story compilations, Supernatural Horror, Dystopia Utopia, Murder Mayhem, Lost Souls and many others, this latest title takes housebound trapped spirits and creepy gothic mansions as its chilling subject. Contains a potent mix of classic and brand new writing, with authors from the US, Canada, and the UK. Oh, what is that sound within the walls? The creaking floorboards, the children hiding in the mirror, the spirits that rake across the flesh of the mind all find a home in this anthology of spine-tingling tales. Hardback Deluxe edition, printed on silver, matt laminated, gold and silver foil stamped, embossed. 25 illustrations
