  After attending the gymnasium at Liegnitz, he studied theology at the university of Halle.  This led to a tutorship in St Petersburg in 1804 and occasionally some preaching in the German Lutheran church.  He was also hard at work writing his first dramatic tragedies and in 1817 he gained a professorship in German literature and history. 
   
  In 1822, after anti-German outbreaks in Russia, he left for Italy and thence to Berlin, where he would remain for the rest of his life.  In his career he wrote some 80 plays and other works which greatly influenced life and Culture in the Prussian capital across tragedies, comedies and historical dramas.  
   
  His seminal early prose vampire story ‘Wake Not the Dead’ was originally published in 1823 in Minerva Magazine.  When translated into English it was for many decades wrongly attributed to Johann Ludwig Tieck. 
   
  Ernst Raupach died in Berlin on 18th March 1852.   He was 67.

  It is said that books are written to bring sunshine into our dull, grey lives – to show us places we want to escape to, lives we want to live, people we want to love. But there are also stories that can only be found in the deepest, darkest corners of the library. Stories about the unexplained, of lost souls, of things that go bump before the silence. Before the screaming. 
  And some stories just disappear. Stories printed in old newspapers, broadcast live on the wireless, sometimes not even published at all – these are the stories you cannot find on even the dustiest of library shelves. 
  This follow-up volume to the bestselling Ghosts from the Library resurrects forgotten tales of the supernatural by some of the most accomplished mystery authors of all time. Close the windows. Draw the curtains. Just don’t let the lights go out… 
  Tony Medawar, a top editor in the realm of fiction, presents Wicked Spirits, a collection of horror and crime stories that delve into the unexplained and the supernatural. These anthologies, steeped in traditional storytelling, are a must-read for fans of detective thrillers.
