    A collection of spooky tales to invade the mind and explore the legend of the Ghost of The Pannell Witch. 
    Each story in this collection takes the reader on a deep dive into one of the many versions of the legend of Mary Pannell, who was executed for witchcraft in the small town of Kippax, West Yorkshire, in 1603. Her ghost is said to haunt the woods on the hill that to this day bear her name. 
    Was she the town’s wise woman, providing herbal remedies to its residents? Like many women executed for witchcraft in the 17th century, she may have been betrayed by her own friends and neighbours. But even in death, perhaps she continued to help those who needed it. 
    Perhaps she targeted by her local community because of her sexuality. What if her ghost takes it on herself to look out for the queer residents of Kippax? 
    Or is her story a darker one? Some say that whoever sees the ghost of Mary Pannell will soon have a death in the family. That Mary takes out her revenge on the young sons of Kippax. When one determined mother, who has lost everything, decides to fight back, can she manage to save the town?

    Demons are amassing in New York City… 
    As the dawn of the twentieth century approaches, the spectral battle for the city’s souls is heating up. Maggie Hathorn, a ghostly socialite, and her living beau, Reverend Roberto Coronado, have spent their entire courtship so far solving murders and banishing evil spirits. All Maggie wants is a chance to bask in her newfound romance, attending dinner parties and stealing moments alone with her beloved exorcist. 
    But when New York City’s Ghost Precinct receives a call of distress from the spirit world, Maggie realizes that their battles aren’t over yet. Indeed, there are evil forces at work that are larger than she could have imagined. Maggie and Coronado discover that the perpetrators of their previous cases were both part of the American-Born Guild, an organization dedicated to fanning the flames of nativism and emboldening hateful hearts toward violence. 
    Even more dangerous, members of this guild have been carelessly playing with Spiritualism, opening spectral doors and unknowingly welcoming in demonic entities. This influx of demons is endangering the spectral refuge known as Sanctuary, where Maggie has more than once found a safe haven in times of trouble. Now it is Maggie’s turn to save Sanctuary. To do this, Maggie will need to call on allies new and old to help take down the guild and dispel the amassing demons. And Maggie herself will need to step into her role as a bridge between the living and the dead. 
    If Sanctuary can be saved, it may just be the key to fulfilling Maggie’s dreams and facilitating the love between a ghost and an exorcist.

    A researcher goes on an expedition to find "The Tablets of the Gods" which have plagued his dreams since his boyhood. He finds them, and the horrible truth of humanity's true purpose in the universe. This story, The Man Who Found Out" is an example to me of pure cosmic horror in that the horror comes totally from knowledge which is (in-story) so terrible that it forever blights the minds of anyone who discovers it. Two highly intelligent and well informed men, Professor Ebor and then Dr. Laidlaw, learn the contents of the Tablets of the Gods, and even though this information is short enough to be on two ordinary-sized tablets, it is enough to induce absolute belief in its veracity and utterly destroy hope in the reader. Yeah, that is pretty scary. There are no monsters in the tale, nothing but Forbidden Knowledge -- which, apparently, is Forbidden with good reason. (Wikipedia and the reader )

His most popular works in the early part of the last century were his humorous tales set around the docks of Wapping and in the taproom of the infamous Cauliflower tavern. Many of his stories were written in a Cockney vernacular and were keenly observant of character.His most famous horror stories are 'The Monkey's Paw', 'His Brother's Keeper' and 'Jerry Bundler', all of which have been included in numerous anthologies.'Jerry Bundler' is a ghost story with a twist. We open in a tavern where travellers are telling ghost stories late one night. One gentleman tells a tale about a ghost haunting the very house where they are all sitting. His story frightens all the company gathered around the fire...and when the old gentleman retires to bed, one of the others proposes to take revenge by pretending to be the ghost.
