Omschrijving

What if one careless breath could summon a nightmare that follows you to the edge of consciousness?

First published in 1904, Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad remains the definitive English ghost story, marrying academic satire with primal dread. This expanded modern edition preserves James's masterful economy of detail while refining archaic language, ensuring every hiss of wind and rustle of linen chills twenty-first-century readers to the bone.

Within its pages you will discover:

An Academic Unmade - Follow Parkins, a man of logic and Enlightenment certainty, as his intellectual armor is peeled back by forces that pre-date reason itself.
The Haunted Shoreline - Experience the Suffolk coast rendered in exquisite, sensory prose: salt-scoured graveyards, moonlit dunes, and a seaside inn that echoes with unseen footsteps.
Templar Secrets & Folklore - A relic etched with Latin charms becomes the pivot between medieval superstition and modern hubris, revealing James's deep knowledge of antiquarian lore.
Psychological Terror - No gore, no clichés-only creeping dread as sheets on a hotel bed writhe into human form and a whistle's two piercing notes trail you into every dream.
Contextual Enhancements - A concise foreword on James's life, a timeline of publication history, and unobtrusive endnotes illuminate the story's scholarly roots without breaking its spell.

Perfect for aficionados of cosmic horror, gothic fiction, or anyone who has ever felt watched in an empty room, this edition invites you to blow the whistle-if you dare-and discover why James's ghosts still walk at the very forefront of supernatural literature.
