The Valancourt Book of Horror Stories by Christopher Priest

The Valancourt Book of Horror Stories by Christopher Priest

In this volume, you will encounter tales of ghosts, haunted houses, witchcraft, vampirism, lycanthropy, and sea monsters. Stories of cruelty and vengeance, of a body that refuses to be cremated, a deranged performer with one last shocking show, a frozen corpse that may not be dead. With stories ranging from frightening to horrific to weird to darkly funny, by a lineup of authors that includes both masters of horror fiction and award-winning literary greats, this is a horror anthology like no other.

Spanning two hundred years of horror, this new collection features seventeen macabre gems, including two original tales and many others that have never or seldom been reprinted, by:

Charles Birkin - John Blackburn - Michael Blumlein - Mary Cholmondeley - Hugh Fleetwood - Stephen Gregory - Gerald Kersh - Francis King - M. G. Lewis - Florence Marryat - Richard Marsh - Michael McDowell - Christopher Priest - Forrest Reid - Bernard Taylor - Hugh Walpole

'The things were there and they were hiding in the slime; waiting . waiting to clutch and claw and savage' - AUNTY GREN by John Blackburn

'The sound that came from her throat, a small, pleading cry of terror, was cut off before she'd hardly had a chance to utter it' - OUT OF SORTS by Bernard Taylor

'The words filled her with an indescribable fear, and she turned to run; but her way was blocked by a figure, gigantic in stature​ - and its monstrous shape moved towards her, and she knew it was the incarnation of evil itself ' - THE TEROR ON TOBIT by Charles Birkin
