A Book of Ghosts: 18

Edith Nesbit, Edith Wharton,...

"Unearthing the Final Shadows of a Victorian Master."

For the true connoisseur of the macabre, the journey does not end with the well-known classics. Volume 18 of the A Book of Ghosts series represents the deep-strata of Sabine Baring-Gould's supernatural imagination. This volume is dedicated to the rare, the obscure, and the previously uncollected—stories that bridge the gap between his work as a folklorist, a priest, and a pioneer of English horror.

The Scholar of the Supernatural: In this advanced volume, we see Baring-Gould at his most experimental. These selections move beyond the standard haunting to explore "The Archaeology of Terror"—where the horror is found in ancient artifacts, forgotten church records, and the dark corners of regional history. The prose here is steeped in the "Antiquarian Realism" that would later inspire the likes of M.R. James, focusing on the danger of intellectual curiosity and the physical weight of the past.

A Collector's Essential: This volume is designed for those who seek to complete the definitive portrait of a Victorian polymath. It highlights Baring-Gould's unique ability to find the "unholy" within the "holy," using his deep knowledge of ecclesiastical history to craft scares that feel grounded in ancient truth.

This archival edition is a must-have for scholars of Gothic literature, bibliophiles of the strange, and anyone dedicated to the preservation of classic British weird fiction.

Complete the legacy. Buy "A Book of Ghosts: Volume 18" today and own a piece of supernatural history.

The New Utopia

Jerome K.

'The human race must press onward to its destiny… an ordered army, marching side by side over the level plain of equity and equality.'

One of Jerome's more accomplished essays, The New Utopia unveils a fascinating insight into contemporary opinion on socialism.

Published at the height of the second industrial revolution, and the consequent backlash surrounding labourer's wages and poor working conditions, The New Utopia recounts a dream of the author's in which the world is transformed into a socialist wonderland. But what begins as a utopia soon descends into a warped vision of collective good, as egalitarianism is taken to extreme lengths: men and women are clothed in identical grey uniforms, donning the same short, black hair, wiped clean of individuality and merit. Gripping, pacey and a clever political commentary, Jerome creates a nightmarish landscape of distorted equality and unravels its consequences.
Jerome K. Jerome (1859 – 1927) was an English author and actor. Renowned for his comic works, he is best known for the hilarious travelogue, Three Men in a Boat. A prolific writer and admirer of the theatre, he penned several novels, essays and plays throughout his life.
