NEW TITLE NEWS ~ BY NO MORTAL HAND


NEW TITLE NEWS

BY NO MORTAL HAND by DANIEL McGACHEY

BY NO MORTAL HAND is a collection of antiquarian ghost stories in which ancient windows look out on nightmare scenes, bizarre clocks chime hidden hours, spectral forms haunt nocturnal forests and distant shorelines, rare books conceal terrifying contents, and dreadful secrets and dire fates are dredged up from unhallowed resting places. Whether through certain reminiscences of Dr Lawrence, a folklorist unable entirely to escape the shadow of his own uncanny speciality, or in a trio of tales that serve as sequels and prequels to the classic original works of the most acclaimed writer of ghost stories in the English language, M.R. James, or by delving into the writing and peculiar legacy of one of James’s more neglected and long-forgotten contemporaries, Dr H.S. Grace, BY NO MORTAL HAND is a tribute to the early twentieth century’s golden age of supernatural storytelling.
