It’s a strange attraction given that for most of us undoubtedly the word ‘Supernatural’ is one riven with dark intent and malicious promise.

In this volume of short stories our malevolent authors, including the talents of H P Lovecraft, Edgar Alan Poe, Charles Dickens, M R James, Victor Hugo, E T A Hoffman and many, many others, seem to take great delight in assaulting our senses with heart stopping narratives designed to put the fear of God, the Devil and just about every other form of disturbed terror into our eager hearts and minds.
