All four books in Helen Susan Swift's series of historical horror novels, 'Tales From The Dark Past', now available in one volume!
 
Dark Voyage: It’s 1914, and fear and paranoia rule the high seas. Iain Cosgrove sets sail abroad Lady Balgay, last of Dundee’s once-grand sealing fleet. Fueled by rum and the tales of John Pratt, the crew obsess over ancient superstitions; ones Iain casually dismisses as simple lore... until they reach the frigid Artic seas. Soon, Iain's beliefs are shaken when the ship discovers two castaways, and events take a sinister turn.
 
Dark Mountain: In the West Highlands of Scotland, few years after the end of World War One, Brenda and her friends are preparing for an expedition of a lifetime: climbing An Cailleach, also known as The Witch. But even before they reach the base of the mountain, they realize that something is wrong. Strange apparitions, even stranger locals and ancient superstitions are all signs that they are on a dangerous path. What evil lurks in the depths of the dark mountain?
 
Dark Capital: Edinburgh, 1820s. On one side is the Old Town; ancient, crumbling and full of poverty. On the other is the New Town - elegant, refined and prosperous. When newly qualified Doctor Martin Elliot arrives, he discovers that there is more darkness in the streets than he could have imagined. Ghosts of the long-dead haunt the houses, and nightmares soon fill Martin’s head. Only a relic of the past seems to give Martin respite, but can be balance its power with the burden that comes with it?
 
Whistlers Of The Dark: Scotland, 1899. When young orphan Ellen Luath starts work as a kitchen maid in a remote farm, she hopes she has left her troubled past behind. But something is not right at Kingsinch farm. Soon, supernatural forces of long past return to haunt Ellen, enclosing her in a circle of darkness.

    There is something about the number 3.    
     
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
     
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
     
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.
