From classic stories by WW Jacobs, Mary Shelley, Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Edgar Allan Poe, to lesser-known treasures by the likes of Virginia Woolf and Algernon Blackwood, The Repeater Book of the Occult Tales from the Darkside is an essential addition to the shelves of fans of supernatural, occult and horror fiction. Strikingly presented as a silver-foiled hardback, this is a glorious gift for fans of the darkside.

Edited by Tariq Goddard, novelist and publisher for Repeater Books, and “horror philosopher” Eugene Thacker, with stories selected by authors who write for Repeater, each story is introduced with personal passion and scholarly insights that illuminate the stories in fresh ways. 

In their introduction, the editors are keen to counter the opinion that the horror genre is somehow lesser – “Fear is rarely treated with the same respect as other more prestigious or edifying emotions, and in the horror genre particularly, fear is often dismissed as a technical contrivance or mere gimmick.” They argue that this misunderstands an emotion and genre, pointing out that horror writing is “based on a suspicion regarding the world as it is given to us.

Within this framework, readers are well-disposed to experience the delicious depths of the anthology’s stories.
