Synopsis

A brand new anthology of previously unpublished and uncollected supernatural mysteries by some of the masters of the Golden Age – thrills, spills and chills perfect for Halloween. It is said that books are written to bring sunshine into our dull, grey lives – to show us places we want to escape to, lives we want to live, people we want to love. But there are also stories that can only be found in the deepest, darkest corners of the library. Stories about the unexplained, of lost souls, of things that go bump before the silence. Before the screaming. And some stories just disappear. Stories printed in old newspapers, broadcast live on the wireless, sometimes not even published at all – these are the stories you cannot find on even the dustiest of library shelves. Ghosts from the Library Close the windows. Draw the curtains. Just don’t let the lights go out…

It's that age-old problem of short stories some are good and some aren't and sadly there seems to be more of the latter here. Hauntings, fear of the unknown and the occasional witch are all thrown together here and whilst I enjoyed reading the stories of some of my favourite authors there was nothing......more

Nice mix of short stories from some of my favorite authors. The stories aren’t particularly scary, and for that I’m grateful.......more

Very very mixed, but Christianna Brand’s story about a Welsh witch and a traitorous-or-is-he husband… delicious. Listened on audio, which was perfect.......more

Quotes

‘A delightfully shiversome set of tales to be read over a series of dark nights.’—

‘The collection is full to the brim with elegant and subtle writing, clever character studies and some masterclass-level misdirection. Perfect for a long winter’s night.’—

‘Criminally spooky – would make a great Christmas stocking gift!’—

‘Despite being hitherto “lost”, there are few duds here.’—

‘A particular favourite of mine was Agatha Christie’s , written for the BBC’s Light Programme in 1954. This translates well to the page … as the story builds to a tense climax guaranteed to send a shiver up an unsuspecting spine.’—
