Lettice galbraith (92 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The late Victorians had an insatiable appetite for the macabre and sensational: stories of murder and suspense, ghosts, the supernatural and the inexplicable were the stuff of life to them. The two writers in this volume well represent the last decade of the nineteenth century, and are of interest in themselves as well as for their contribution to the chilling of the Victorian spine. Mrs. Alfred Baldwin attempted as a child to contact her dead sister through a seance, and took to writing when stricken by a mysterious illness six weeks after marriage. She was also the mother of the Prime Minister, Stanley Baldwin. Lettice Galbraith is herself no less mysterious than the stories she wrote. She appeared on the literary scene in 1893, published a novel and two collections of stories in that year, a further story ('The Blue Room') in 1897, and then nothing more. Readers of 'The Empty Picture Frame', 'The Case of Sir Nigel Otterburne', 'The Trainer's Ghost' and 'The Seance Room' will recognise the Victorian spirit at its fines. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

"Darker below," he muttered, as though to himself; "darker, darker, darker."Yorkshire: a land entwined with a distinctive tradition of uncanny literature and folklore, home to twilit towns thronging with restless ghosts, woods alive with the whispers of fairies and vast moorlands stalked by boggarts and barghests after dark.Exploring Yorkshire's position as a heartland of British supernatural fiction, the stories and poems gathered here trace its weird literary heritage from medieval tales of shapeshifting spirits to the Gothic worlds of the Brontë sisters, and from wartime hauntings to modern folk horror. Including local legends from rare sources and unsettling stories from Arthur Machen, Sylvia Plath, Ted Hughes, Andrew Michael Hurley and many more, this collection offers glimpses of a stranger England hidden among the shadows of the dales.…

Condizione: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Esta colección cuenta con grandes nombres de la literatura, pero rescata también a maestros del género menos reconocidos. El resultado es una deliciosa oda a lo escalofriante y a lo extraño. Llega el invierno, las noches son más largas. Hay quienes se reúnen bajo el muérdago con sus familiares y amigos; otros abogan por la abolición del espíritu navideño bajo el lema «Prohibir la Navidad o Morir». Entre las páginas de esta colección de relatos acechan fantasmas y casas encantadas, pero también problemas cotidianos mucho más reconocibles y no menos aterradores. Y todos ellos tienen una cosa en común: el frío. Ese frío que nos recorre la columna al abrir la ventana una tarde de invierno, ya sea porque ahí fuera sopla una brisa helada o porque? ¿Quién sabe qué se esconde en esa oscuridad? CRÍTICA «Estos cuentos extraños son la lectura navideña perfecta, llena de visitantes inquietantes y espíritus amantes de la fiesta. » ?Christopher Hart, The Times «Es una verdadera delicia leer la obra de los maestros de lo extraño del pasado. » ?Oddly Weird Fiction *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
