Showing titles in Ghosts

Mr Rayburn, a widower, and his young daughter, Lucy, first meet Mrs Zant in Kensington Gardens. She is oblivious to their presence and appears to be in some sort of trance.

There is something stalking the dream world. While people are sleeping, and at their most vulnerable, it infiltrates their minds and drives them to do terrible things. Its next target is a young boy who quickly becomes the unwilling vessel of an unstoppable demonic force. His family cannot save him. How can you fight against something that only exists in your head? Their only hope is the Night Warriors, conquerors of dreams. But demons like this have power far beyond what they have seen before, and it is about to erupt from the world of dreams into the waking world.

BÖSARTIG – Zwölf heimtückische Kurzgeschichten sind wie dein Nachhauseweg an einem dunklen Herbstabend. Hundertmal bist du ihn schon gegangen, glaubst ihn in- und auswendig zu kennen, und doch strahlen die Büsche heute etwas Bedrohliches aus... Nur eine Hecke, flüstert dein Verstand und sein verzagter Unterton setzt deine Sinne in Alarmbereitschaft. Lauert dort nicht etwas in der Dunkelheit? Dein Puls schlägt schneller, deine Schritte beschleunigen sich und du musst an dich halten, auf den letzten Metern nicht zu rennen.

Lange, kalte Winternächte: Zeit, um den Kamin zu entzünden, Zeit für Geistergeschichten. Ob in den wilden Mooren von Yorkshire, auf dem verschneiten Gelände eines Spukhauses oder auf dem belebten Londoner Weihnachtsmarkt – diese Geschichten, die von Gespenstern vergangener Tage erzählen, jagen den Lesenden die köstlichsten Schauer über den Rücken. So herrlich britisch wie ein Yorkshire Pudding, so stimmungsvoll und gruselig wie ›Eine Weihnachtsgeschichte‹ von Charles Dickens und so spannend, dass man dieses Buch kaum aus den Händen legen kann.

This first collection of tales by Rosalie Parker contains eight stories that explore the uncanny in the modern world. As Glen Cavaliero observes in his introduction, "like all good stories of the preternatural, these in The Old Knowledge have a subversive effect." In them, "the world of logical, predictable reality is seen to be at risk from rejected modes of knowledge which can thwart the materialist and victimise those innocents who stumble into another order of reality."

Ebenezer Scrooge is mean and unpleasant. He dislikes people and Christmas especially but on this particular Christmas Eve he’s visited by the ghost of his business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come. As Ebenezer sees the effects he’s had on people’s lives, he is transformed.

"There are many ways to tell a story... It is a question of choosing the right one." - "Sparks from the Fire" The stories in Sparks from the Fire explore a wide variety of familiar characters and settings, yet there is always something else a shadow world that haunts, disturbs, and threatens. Sons and daughters, mothers and fathers, recluses and lovers all find themselves shifting between realities: the prosaic and the mystical, even between life and death. The horrors and wonders of these parallel existences are often glimpsed, sometimes revealed, and occasionally overwhelm.

Este volumen recopila nueve cuentos que la autora escribió entre 1887 y 1910. Si bien Nesbit es más conocida por sus obras de corte infantil, a lo largo de su vida también escribió una gran cantidad de relatos fantasmagóricos y sobrenaturales en los que plasmaba aspectos de su propia vida relacionados con las frustraciones, el miedo y sus deseos. Estos nueve cuentos no solo nos permiten ser testigos de la prosa de Nesbit en un campo que no es el infantil, sino que también suponen una ventana a su alma.

Milano, 2013. Augusto Ghites è un medium con un incredibile potere: entra in contatto con gli spiriti dei defunti sniffando o fumando le loro ceneri, come se si trattasse di una droga qualsiasi. Questa terribile dote, a metà fra la maledizione e la tossicodipendenza, fa di lui un uomo solitario, malinconico, ostaggio del proprio vizio segreto, e circondato solo da gente morta.

When Ellen, Sue, and Tanya escape to a historic beachfront mansion in Biloxi, Mississippi, they expect margaritas on the balcony and sunsets over the Gulf—not a violent haunting. From the moment they arrive, something in the house makes its presence known. Objects shift. Doors slam. The air turns ice cold. And the spirit tethered to the property is not a gentle soul seeking peace. He is angry. As the women dig into the home’s past, they uncover ties to one of the Gulf Coast’s darkest chapters: organized crime, orphan exploitation, and the shadowy reign of the Dixie Mafia.
