  25 authors, 25 classic stories, to celebrate the night of the dead. 
   
  All Saints day: All Hallows Day: Halloween.  Children dress up and go trick or treating but those of us who have given up on these childish things still have the urge to be frightened.  
   
  Fear comes with these tales.  Some are peopled with ghouls and phantoms who rise to walk the earth – some feature men and women of wanton evil, of dark thoughts and darker deeds but some are just like you and me, whose innocence does not escape their blood curdling terror, and whose circumstance does not mitigate their horrifying fate. 
   
  From the oh so normal every day to the supernatural happenings of other times, other dimensions.  
   
  Amongst our purveyors of deceit, dread and death are Lovecraft, Poe, Stoker, M R James, Saki, Edith Nesbit, Mary Shelley, Blackwood, Dickens who use their rabid pens of painful words to wound our senses in varied, un-ending and mysterious ways.  
   
  Their stories may be plausible; a guest given shelter, a friend in need but know this - their currency is fear and their motive might be dark, grotesque and dangerous.  
   
  Their target? Well, that’s rather obvious now. Isn’t it?

  Wuthering Heights

  Wuthering Heights is an 1847 novel by Emily Brontë, initially published under her pen name Ellis Bell. It concerns two families of the landed gentry living on the West Yorkshire moors, the Earnshaws and the Lintons, and their turbulent relationships with Earnshaw's foster son, Heathcliff. The novel was influenced by Romanticism and Gothic fiction. Wuthering Heights is now considered a classic of English literature, but contemporaneous reviews were polarised. It was controversial for its depictions of mental and physical cruelty, and for its challenges to Victorian morality and religious and societal values. Wuthering Heights was accepted by publisher Thomas Newby along with Anne Brontë's Agnes Grey before the success of their sister Charlotte's novel Jane Eyre, but they were published later. Charlotte edited a second edition of Wuthering Heights after Emily's death which was published in 1850. It has inspired an array of adaptations across several media, including English singer-songwriter Kate Bush's song of the same name.

  Gargoyles takes you on a journey into a mysterious world, through bestiaries and traveling menageries, past grotesques and chimeras, through medieval cities and guilds and into huge stone buildings. Gargoyles are an embodiment of form and function—serving a clear architectural purpose but, also, symbolically important. Whether warding off evil, frightening away fear or showcasing human foibles, when a gargoyle was placed on a building, people noticed. The book delves into historic models of arcane craftsmanship and architecture, considering the reasons for gargoyles coming into being and hearing the legends of the gargoyle, both mythic and modern. It, also, covers the emergence of stone creatures into popular culture. For modern magick users, Gargoyles explores the role of the gargoyle in magickal practice, including gargoyle use in elemental correspondences, stone magick, protection, warding, egregores, talismans, animal associations, ritual and spell work.

  An experimental surgery. A plague of suicides. Through layering pieces of testimony, the connection between these events leads to a startling conclusion.  
  Inspired by a trip to a graveyard in Wales, the novella was originally not well received. The Great God Pan is now considered an excellent example of Gothic fiction, and has influenced such writers as Bram Stoker, H.P. Lovecraft, Stephen King, and Ray Bradbury.
