Beschreibung

"Some Spirits Return Not for Rest, but for Reckoning."

The journey into the twilight world of S. Baring-Gould continues. In this second volume of his celebrated supernatural works, the master of the Victorian "weird tale" delves even deeper into the shadows of the English countryside. These are stories for the dead of winter—narratives where the past is a living, breathing entity that refuses to stay buried beneath the floorboards of history.

The Architect of Atmospheric Terror: Baring-Gould remains unsurpassed in his ability to find terror in the everyday. Volume 2 elevates his signature style, blending his expertise as an antiquarian with a dark, psychological insight into the human condition. Here, the haunting is often a social or moral consequence; a ghost is not just a spirit, but a debt that must be paid. Whether exploring the silent corridors of a crumbling manor or the windswept desolation of a country churchyard, Baring-Gould crafts an atmosphere of "uncomfortable reality" that has influenced generations of supernatural writers.

As a peer to the great ghost story writers of the late 19th century, Baring-Gould provides a crucial link between traditional folklore and modern psychological horror. This volume is an essential cornerstone for collectors of classic ghost stories, Victorian literature, and British folk horror.

The candles are dimming. Buy "A Book of Ghosts: Volume 2" today and settle in for a night of elegant, bone-chilling terror.
