‘… he has never been quite certain what words he said, but he knows that he spoke, that he grasped wildly at the silver crucifix, that he was conscious of a movement towards him on the part of the demon, and that he screamed with the voice of an animal in hideous pain…’
A gripping retelling of two of the eeriest and most entertaining tales from the master of the English ghost story.
In Canon Alberic’s Scrap-book, a young Cambridge antiquary discovers the dark side of manuscript illumination, in a medieval cathedral in the French Pyrenees. In The Mezzotint, a ghoulish revenge is enacted within a work of art, before the helpless eyes of a museum curator…
‘Robert Lloyd Parry restores the charm and pleasure of the original tales with his excellent and convincing storytelling…’
