Overview
The phantoms are stirring once more.
"Onward came the ill-omened craft. It passed through the breakers on the shore, glided up over the sands, and steadily pursued its course over the dry land, as if it had been water."
Kernow—as Cornwall is known in the Cornish tongue—is a land haunted by a long heritage of ghost tales and uncanny folklore, from its wicked wreckers and the spectral death-ship to mine-dwelling fiends, blood-sucking abominations and the revenant spirits of a druidic past. And the phantoms are stirring once more.
In her new selection of sixteen stories hailing from 1865 to 1952, Joan Passey charts a course through this unique literary landscape, including timeless retellings of ghostly lore, rare Victorian chillers and weird nightmares by key figures of Cornish literature such as Sabine Baring-Gould, Arthur Quiller-Couch and Daphne du Maurier.
