THE GHOSTS & SCHOLARS BOOK OF SHADOWS

Our next title is the eagerly awaited The Ghosts & Scholars Book of Shadows.

For September 2012 Sarob Press is hugely delighted to present a collection of truly Jamesian ghost stories. These twelve stories are the winners in The Ghosts & Scholars M.R. James Newsletter prequel/sequel competition. All are previously unpublished except “Quis est Iste?”which appeared earlier this year in The Ghosts & Scholars M.R. James Newsletter as the overall competition winner. This volume is an absolute MUST for all Jamesian admirers and collectors. Stories (and their M.R. James inspirations): “Alberic de MaulĂ©on” by Helen Grant (“Canon Alberic's Scrap-book”); “Anningley Hall, Early Morning” by Rick Kennett (“The Mezzotint”); “The Mezzotaint” by John Llewellyn Probert (“The Mezzotint”); “Quis est Iste?” by Christopher Harman (“Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad”); “The Guardian” by Jacqueline Simpson (“The Treasure of Abbot Thomas”); “Between Four Yews” by Reggie Oliver (“A School Story”); “The Mirror of Don Ferrante” by Louis Marvick (“Casting the Runes”); “Fire Companions” by Mark Valentine (“Two Doctors”); “Of Three Girls and of Their Talk” by Derek John (“Wailing Well”); “The Gift” by C.E. Ward (“The Experiment”); “Malice” by David A. Sutton (“The Malice of Inanimate Objects”); “Glamour of Madness” by Peter Bell (“A Vignette”).
