Upon the Midnight: An Anthology of Ghost and Horror Stories
To the task of compiling a truly original and gripping collection of tales of the uncanny, Randolph Bull brings a knowledge of his subject - and a taste for the bizarre - at once unique and enormously appealing. Drawing on his immense library of supernatural fiction, he has produced a volume calculated to please both the connoisseur and the novice seeking a suitably "fearsome" introduction to this endlessly fascinating aspect of the story-teller's art. Tales by famous authors and forgotten gems, rediscovered and introduced to the modern reader for the first time, are to be found here side by side. Upon the Midnight will keep you in your armchair until the last embers of the fire have died.
