Description

Mark Valentine's Haunted by Books is an exploration of the lesser-known corners of literature. The author delves into the lives and works of intriguing figures, from those who defied convention to those whose stories remain enigmatic.

The book presents a fascinating array of literary mysteries, including the identity of Robert Aickman's MS in a Red Box and the authorship of Shakespeare's Gunpowder Plot. Valentine also sheds light on lesser-known writers worth discovering, such as Mary Butts and Claude Houghton, and offers fresh perspectives on notable authors like Lewis Grassic Gibbon and Malcolm Lowry.

Haunted by Books invites readers to venture into the wild woods of forgotten literature, where the boundaries between reality and fiction blur. A fascinating read for those seeking to uncover the hidden gems of literary history.
