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…The Wicked Spirits series, edited by Tony Medawar, is a sequel that takes traditional horror to new heights. This anthology of thrillers is a masterclass in suspenseful fiction, with each story more chilling than the last.For fans of Otto Penzler (The Big Book of Christmas Mysteries), and Leslie S. Klinger (Average Jones).HarperCollins 2024 Show more
