From English hamlets to teeming metropolises, this book takes you on an unforgettable journey to the realms of true horror. Held within are tales ranging from the ravings of a person who saw his neighbour, "A man with a hint of pungency and several strange skin lesions adorning his arms," disappear under ominous circumstances, to a seemingly innocent hamlet whose secrets tear the fabric of the society. This main course is followed by the epistles of a landlord who bought his new house under strange conditions, in which he feels the existence of a ghostly entity within the crumbling walls of Higham Hill. To the latter, the crowning pinnacle is in "Ravings," a recount of an archaeologist who visited a sacrificial henge. Topped on everything is the suicide of a physicist who invents special perception glasses that realizes humans' fear, as displayed in "The Phantasm." This book is a long-since-forgotten art.
