Stories of Dark Magic

"A magic trick is always fun tinged with a sense of wonder even when we know how they did it the question is asked again ‘Really, how did they do it?’ But magic in literature has two sides both good and bad, light and dark and in this volume our pen laden authors bring forth tales that disturb and menace as only the creations of Nikolai Gogol, Hanns Heinz Ewers, Arthur Machen, Edith Nesbit and many others possibly can. 1 - Stories of Dark Magic - An Introduction2 - St Johns Eve by Nikolai Gogol3 - Blood - Part 1 by Hanns Heinz Ewers4 - Blood - Part 2 by Hanns Heinz Ewers5 - The Ebony Frame by Edith Nesbit6 - The Mark of the Beast by Rudyard Kipling7 - The Screaming Skull by F Marion Crawford8 - A Witch's Den by Helena Blavatsky9 - Witchcraft by Arthur Machen10 - The Mass of Shadows by Anatole France11 - Casting the Runes by M R James12 - Beyond the Pale by H D Everett13 - Warning Whispers by A M Burrage 14 - Carnacki, The Ghost Finder - No 1 - The Gateway of the Monster by William Hope Hodgson15 - Couching at the Door by D K Broster16 - The Haunted and the Haunters; or, The House and the Brain - Part 1 by Edward Bulwer Lytton17 - The Haunted and the Haunters; or, The House and the Brain - Part 2 by Edward Bulwer Lytton"

The Foundations of Fiction - Haunted House

"In this series we turn the pages of classic short stories to put together the literary building blocks of how a particular genre or theme began, how it built its foundations to become the well-loved and well-worn genre that it is today.Do authors have the same ideas at more or less the same time? Or can they sniff out an opportunity as to which way the tastes of an audience are moving. Success undoubtedly builds success and in literary terms we can more politely say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and the surest way to reach a hungry readership is to build on the fortune and flair of your literary colleagues. The dark forces of history have a way of settling in houses, usually large and rambling, but also small and nestled in a city, and from there all sorts of uneasy happenings begin. Authors have very playful imaginations, as well as some very disturbing ideas as they escalate the interactions between people and the growing source of terror that is with us and around us."

Essence of Evil – Tales of Curses, Necromancy, Dark Magic & More

"Pure Evil is one of our greatest fears. No appeals to reason, no pleas of mercy or forgiveness will have the slightest impact on the mind of the oppressor. But in this volume our authors are rather more spiteful that we could at first imagine. Here they blight the lives of characters with Curses, Necromancy, Dark Magic and other assorted ghouls that care little about the fate of you or I.1 - Essence of Evil - Tales of Curses, Necromancy, Dark Magic & More - An Introduction2 - The Mark of the Beast by Rudyard Kipling3 - The Brute by Joseph Conrad4 - Herbert West - Reanimator - Part 1 by H P Lovecraft5 - Herbert West - Reanimator - Part 2 by H P Lovecraft6 - The Mass of Shadows by Anatole France7 - The Shadows on the Wall by Mary E Wilkins Freeman8 - Casting the Runes by M R James9 - Clairvoyance by D K Broster10 - Warning Whispers by A M Burrage11 - Wake Not the Dead - Part 1 by Ernst Raupach12 - Wake Not the Dead - Part 2 by Ernst Raupach13 - The Dead Hand by Wilkie Collins14 - The Beast With Five Fingers by W F Harvey15 - The Withered Arm by Thomas Hardy16 - The Arm of Mrs Egan by W F Harvey17 - The Monkey's Paw by W W Jacobs18 - The Hair by A J Alan19 - The Ash Tree by M R James.wav20 - Blood - Part 1 by Hanns Heinz Ewers21 - Blood - Part 2 by Hanns Heinz Ewers22 - Beyond the Pale by H D Everett23 - The Operation by Violet Hunt24 - Foreordained by Anthony Hope25 - The Miracle by John Davys Beresford26 - Lost Hearts by M R James27 - Lost in a Pyramid (or the Mummy's Curse) by Louisa May Alcott writing as A M Bernard28 - The Screaming Skull by F Marion Crawford29 - Young Magic by Helen Simpson30 - Witchcraft by Arthur Machen31 - A Witches Den by Helena Blavatsky32 - When I Was a Witch by Charlotte Perkins Gilman33 - The Spectre Bridegroom by William Hunt34 - The Waxworks by A M Burrage35 - The Haunted and the Haunters; or, The House and the Brain - Part 1 by Edward Bulwer Lytton36 - The Haunted and the Haunters; or, The House and the Brain - Part 2 by Edward Bulwer Lytton37 - The Ebony Frame by Edith Nesbit38 - St Johns Eve by Nikolai Gogol39 - A Fight with a Cannon by Victor Hugo40 - Carnacki, The Ghost Finder - No 1 - The Gateway of the Monster by William Hope Hodgson41 - Couching at the Door by D K Broster42 - The Death Hound by Violet Mary Firth writng as Dion Fortune43 - Marsyas In Flanders by Vernon Lee44 - The Testament of Magdalen Blair - Part 1 by Aleister Crowley45 - The Testament of Magdalen Blair - Part 2 by Aleister Crowley"

Stories About Fear

"It is commonly said that we have nothing to fear but fear itself. That may be a way to fortify our reason and rationality but all too often it merely escalates the panic and irrationality so that every sentence we read or hear has the ability to shred nerves and common sense in next to no time. Why would we allow authors to do this to us? The truth is we enjoy it. Fear may be frightful but it is also enormous fun. Unless, of course, they take it too far. Which in many cases our classic authors including Edgar Allan Poe, H P Lovecraft, Edith Nesbit, W W Jacobs and a host of others certainly do. 1 - Short Stories About Fear - An Introduction 2 - The Pit and the Pendulum by Edgar Allan Poe 3 - In The Dark by Edith Nesbit 4 - Cool Air by H P Lovecraft 5 - My Own True Ghost Story by Rudyard Kipling 6 - Jerry Bundler by W W Jacobs 7 - Gabriel-Ernest by Saki 8 - The Sphinx by Edgar Allan Poe 9 - The Judge's House by Bram Stoker 10 - An Uncomfortable Bed by Guy de Maupassant 11 - Fear by Catherine Wells 12 - How They Stopped the 'Run' by Anthony Hope 13 - The Gray Man by Sarah Orne Jewett 14 - The Premature Burial by Edgar Allan Poe 15 - The Waxworks by A M Burrage 16 - The Three Sisters by W W Jacobs 17 - The Cobweb by Saki 18 - The Power of Darkness by Edith Nesbit 19 - The Fall of the House of Usher - Part 1 by Edgar Allan Poe 20 - The Fall of the House of Usher - Part 2 by Edgar Allan Poe"

The Top 10 Short Stories - English Murder

"Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author's brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted 'Top Tens' across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions - Why that story? Why that author? The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. In this volume the pens of our English authors examine murder. This dark and evil deed is carried out with many motives.
