"Unearthing the Final Shadows of a Victorian Master."
For the true connoisseur of the macabre, the journey does not end with the well-known classics. Volume 18 of the A Book of Ghosts series represents the deep-strata of Sabine Baring-Gould's supernatural imagination. This volume is dedicated to the rare, the obscure, and the previously uncollected—stories that bridge the gap between his work as a folklorist, a priest, and a pioneer of English horror.
The Scholar of the Supernatural: In this advanced volume, we see Baring-Gould at his most experimental. These selections move beyond the standard haunting to explore "The Archaeology of Terror"—where the horror is found in ancient artifacts, forgotten church records, and the dark corners of regional history. The prose here is steeped in the "Antiquarian Realism" that would later inspire the likes of M.R. James, focusing on the danger of intellectual curiosity and the physical weight of the past.
A Collector's Essential: This volume is designed for those who seek to complete the definitive portrait of a Victorian polymath. It highlights Baring-Gould's unique ability to find the "unholy" within the "holy," using his deep knowledge of ecclesiastical history to craft scares that feel grounded in ancient truth.
This archival edition is a must-have for scholars of Gothic literature, bibliophiles of the strange, and anyone dedicated to the preservation of classic British weird fiction.
