Comments & Further Information

A first UK limited edition hardback (limited to 420 copies only).  Published without a dust jacket.  Unread.

SYNOPSIS:  “Featuring a gloriously grotesque and moon-soaked selection of new writings whose intent it is to capture and expand upon the darkness and sheer strangeness of first-wave Gothic literature.

Never mind the cosy conventions into which the Gothic has settled over the past couple of centuries; INFERNAL MYSTERIES presents an altogether rawer and more primal take on the genre, very much rooted in the works of Poe, Shelley, Walpole, and “Monk” Lewis.

The stories are:  *Olivia by Albert Power;  *Tabula Rasa by Richard Gavin;  *Scourge by Sara Wilson;  *The Bearded Nun, or The Saracen’s Redemption by Tom Johnstone;  *A Trifling Tale by Jon Horn;  *Lorelei by J. Rosina Harlow;  *Shadow, Ghost or Hellequin by Nina Antonia;  *The Cardinal’s Ring by Reggie Oliver;  *Casa Magni by Lisa Moore-Smith;  *To Vathek by Dmitri Akers;  *Thirteen Castles South by Rhys Hughes; *Spolia by Aleksandra Ugelstad Elnæs;  *The Rescue by Jonathan Eeds;  *The Sailor’s Bride by Isobel Granby;  *The Grotto at Crennocken by Jonathan Wood;  *Mrs Poole Will Speak Wrongly, However I Do It by Kate Meyer-Currey;  *Cellmates by Craig S. Shoemake;  *The Haunting of the Red Death by Aaron Padle.”
