Some mysterious force seems to be sapping his physical health, and his behaviour has become oddly evasive and deceptive. Habgood suspects the pernicious influence of Raoul, a sinister handyman with whom Denis has become infatuated, believing that the man may be corrupting and defiling his son. But even after Raoul’s departure, the troubles continue, and Denis’s strength continues to wane. In an old book of medieval legends, his father finds a possible, if implausible, answer in stories of a nameless horror from beyond the grave that feasts on the young in order to return to life. Or could what’s happening to Denis have any connection to an unexplained death in the attic turret nearly eighty years ago? And isn’t there something strange about the scarecrow out in the fields, which seems, barely perceptibly, to have moved...? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Originally published in a limited hardcover edition by the legendary Arkham House, John Metcalfe’s \u003cem\u003eThe Feasting Dead\u003c\/em\u003e (1954) is worthy of being ranked alongside \u003cem\u003eThe Turn of the Screw\u003c\/em\u003e and the works of M.

In this third volume of horror stories, the editors of Valancourt Books have selected fifteen tales (and one macabre poem) – all by Valancourt authors – for this new collection featuring horror from the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. This volume features previously unpublished contributions by Steve Rasnic Tem, Eric C. Higgs, and Hugh Fleetwood, as well as thirteen other tales that have never or seldom been reprinted.\u003cbr\u003e​\u003cbr\u003eIn this volume, you will encounter tales of ghosts, haunted houses, black magic, monsters, demonic babies, and vengeful spirits. Stories of the strange and sinister, of a boy who unwisely disobeys his grandfather's warning never to go up the stairs, a man whose apparently irrational terror of fire proves all too justified, an unpopular man who discovers a shocking new way of making friends, an ancestor who exerts a chilling influence from beyond the grave. With stories ranging from frightening to horrific to weird to darkly humorous, by a lineup of authors that includes both well-known masters of horror fiction and acclaimed authors of literary fiction, this is a horror anthology like no other.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"paragraph\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #3f3f3f; font-size: medium;\" size=\"3\" color=\"#3f3f3f\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #3f3f3f; font-size: medium;\" size=\"3\" color=\"#3f3f3f\"\u003eForeword by James D.

Although he is best known today for his television and film scripts, including several classic episodes of \u003cem\u003eThe Twilight Zone\u003c\/em\u003e, Beaumont is being rediscovered as a master of weird tales, and this, his first published collection, contains some of his best. Ranging in tone from the chilling Gothic horror of “Miss Gentilbelle,” where an insane mother dresses her son up as a girl and slaughters his pets, to deliciously dark humor in tales like “Open House” and “The Infernal Bouillabaisse,” where murderers’ plans go disastrously awry, these seventeen stories demonstrate Beaumont’s remarkable talent and versatility. This new edition of \u003cem\u003eThe Hunger and Other Stories\u003c\/em\u003e, the first in more than fifty years, includes a new introduction by Dr. Bernice M.

A man in 20th century London makes a horrifying discovery about a monster found off the coast of Brighton in 1745. A sea captain goes ashore on a deserted island and finds what seem to be the bones of a previously unknown species of monster, only to learn that the bones tell a much more tragic tale than he could ever have imagined. A war correspondent, none other than Kersh himself, is sailing to America when he meets a strange man who claims to be 438 years old. These are the plots of just a few of the weird tales you will find in this book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGerald Kersh (1911-1968) was a brilliant and inventive writer acclaimed in his time for his gritty novels of London life and his often bizarre short fiction, but he has unfortunately become neglected since his death.

But his orderly life is suddenly upended by the intrusion of a mysterious figure calling himself Joachim Stiller, who seems in insidious ways to be controlling Freek’s life and destiny. It starts with an enigmatic letter – impossibly postmarked before Freek was even born – and as a series of bizarre and possibly supernatural phenomena ensues, Freek becomes obsessed with the question: Who is Joachim Stiller? With the help of a beautiful mathematician and a dealer in occult books, Freek tries to solve the riddle, but none of them will be prepared for the final revelation of the shocking truth!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the great classics of 20th-century Flemish literature and a founding text of Flemish magical realism, Hubert Lampo’s internationally acclaimed \u003cem\u003eThe Coming of Joachim Stiller \u003c\/em\u003e(1960) has been published in fifteen languages and is now available at last in an outstanding new English version by award-winning translator Paul Vincent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Valancourt Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35516285747361,"sku":"VALANCOURT_COMINGOFJOACHIM-LAMPO","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/4406\/9251\/products\/valancourt_thecomingofjoachim-lampo.jpg?v=1596683403"},{"product_id":"burnt-offerings-by-robert-marasco","title":"Burnt Offerings by Robert Marasco","description":"\u003cp class=\"paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify; display: block;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\" size=\"4\"\u003eTrade paperback format.  More copies coming soon!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify; display: block;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color: #3f3f3f; line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\" size=\"4\"\u003eWith a new introduction by Stephen Graham Jones\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: large; line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #3f3f3f;\" color=\"#3f3f3f\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #3f3f3f; font-size: medium;\" size=\"3\" color=\"#3f3f3f\"\u003eBen and Marian Rolfe are desperate to escape a stifling summer in their cramped and noisy Queens apartment, so when they get the chance to rent a mansion in upstate New York for the entire summer for only $900, it’s an offer that’s too good to refuse.
