  The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath is a novella by H. P. Lovecraft (1890–1937) published by Arkham House posthumously in 1943 in the collection Beyond the Wall of Sleep. Begun probably in the autumn of 1926, it was completed on January 22, 1927 and was unpublished in his lifetime. It is both the longest of the stories that make up his Dream Cycle and the longest Lovecraft work to feature protagonist Randolph Carter. Along with his 1927 novel The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, it can be considered one of the significant achievements of that period of Lovecraft's writing. The Dream-Quest combines elements of horror and fantasy into an epic tale that illustrates the scope and wonder of humankind's ability to dream.

  Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
   
  In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
   
  The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
   
  Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
   
  The word ‘Gothic’ may be teamed with romance but here it brings an immediate feeling of unease.  This unease, this disquiet, is sumptuously captured by ten masters of their art.

  'A masterwork of paranoid, destabilizing weird fiction.'
  – Paul Tremblay, author of The Pallbearers Club
  'A poet of misfits, outsiders and the forsaken, his empathy for their suffering ever poignant.'
  
  – Adam Nevill, author of The Ritual
  'Stark and thrumming with a forbidden, eldritch energy.'
  
  – Matt Wesolowski, author of Demon
  <p?WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY M. JOHN HARRISON
  (The Sunken Land Begins to Rise Again, winner of the Goldsmith Prize 2020)
  Moving into an old and decaying house, Martin Swann discovers a box of video cassettes in the garden shed. One of them is a bootleg copy of a morbid and disturbing film by obscure French director, Jean Rien.
  The discovery leads Martin on a search for the director's other films, and for a way to understand Rien's filmography, drawing him away from his home and his lover into a shadowy realm of secrets, rituals and creeping decay. An encounter with a crazed film journalist in Gravesend leads to drug-fuelled visions in Paris – and finally to the Mexican desert where a grim revelation awaits.
  The Witnesses Are Gone is a first-hand account of a journey into the darkest parts of the underworld – a look behind the screen on which our collective nightmares play.

  Arthur Crazy is hungover, but the dead don't care about headaches.
  
  
  The city of York is teetering on the edge of disaster. During a rare eclipse, the Shadowman casts a spell atop the Minster, trapping the city between the realm of the living and the dead. Ghosts flood the streets, and Arthur, with his best friend Steve, is the only one who can stop the chaos.
  
  
  But Arthur's not exactly in hero shape. Haunted by his past and drowning his sorrows in the nearest pint, he's barely keeping it together. That is, until he meets Nae—a beautiful stranger who might just hold the key to helping him feel normal again.
  
  
  Now, with the Shadowman's spell tearing the veil between worlds, the city's only hope rests on a washed-up hero, a saint from the Shambles, and a dog who won't stop talking. York needs a miracle. Arthur needs another drink.
