Description
A collection of eleven stories chosen for their uncanny portrayals of weird history, this volume presents a dark timeline of grim visions from plague-racked England to revolutionary France and beyond. Spanning centuries, these tales evoke terrors throughout time, drawing on the strange potential of setting stories within previous centuries. Included are works by notable writers such as Marjorie Bowen, Frederick Cowles, Vernon Lee, and Vincent O'Sullivan, alongside two original tales from Aaron Worth's own Victorian macabre repertoire. The collection also features a chilling adaptation evoking the style of M.R. James, written by Sheila Hodgson. This anthology is a testament to the enduring power of weird history in storytelling, offering a glimpse into the darker corners of our past.
