A fourth collection in the popular Leonaur Supernatural and Horror fiction series It is often acknowledged that the fictional ghostly tale is best suited to the medium of the short story, which may explain why so many authors have tried their hands at writing such tales. The attraction of creating a concise yarn of suspense and escalating tension, gratified by a literary punchline has been irresistible to writers. Shorter fiction depends upon a strong concept and concise characterisations devoid of superfluous prose, which will entice the reader towards a chilling conclusion darkly lurking beyond the turn of the page. Little wonder that during the 'Golden Age' of the form, and to a certain extent ever since, ghost and horror fiction has gained many enthusiastic aficionados. Leonaur has principally published comprehensive collections of stories of the supernatural and weird defined by the canons of their authors. However, in the previous Leonaur Book of Great Ghost and Horror Stories, editor Eunice Hetherington gathered together more tales written by many authors whose literary output in this genre was insufficient to create a volume in their own right. This, the fourth book in this series continues that tradition. Here you will find evocative tales, perhaps from writers little known, including 'A Bewitched Ship','Lazarus','The Haunted Orchard','A Fight with a Ghost','The Devil of the Marsh' and many others. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
