This title is part of our 3 for 2 offer on British Library Fiction.

I confess I have a particular dislike to remain in a church after dusk; it recalls to my mind the most painful story I ever heard.

A festering evil lurks in the grotesque carvings of a cathedrals hallowed inner sanctum; sheltering in an Alpine chapel, a young libertine confronts his eerie monastic doppelgnger; locked in a Spanish cathedral, a honeymooning couple bears witness to a fatal procession.

Churches and other sacred sites have inspired writers of the weird and uncanny for centuries as spaces in which death and the afterlife are within touching distance where ghosts, demons and possessed effigies remain to haunt the living. Through eleven stories published between 1851 and 1935, this new anthology revives a throng of undying spirits from a host of unsung and classic authors including Elizabeth Gaskell, M. R. James, John Wyndham, and Edith Wharton.

Part of the Tales of the Weird series.
