Description
A collection of tales that challenge the notion of sanctuary, Holy Ghosts brings together uncanny stories from the British Library's archives. Published between 1855 and 1935, these stories feature holy places as sites of horror, where stone effigies come to life and believers are tormented by terrifying apparitions.
Reincarnating forgotten authors, this anthology exhumes stories that were once buried deep in the library's stacks. From the works of Mrs Henry Wood to Ada Buisson, Robert Hichens to M R James, and Amelia B Edwards to Vernon Lee, Holy Ghosts uncovers a range of sacrilegious specters and ecclesiastically eerie tales.
Explore the darker side of faith and the supernatural in this unique and unsettling anthology, featuring a range of stories that will leave you questioning the protection offered by holy places.
