A figure emerges from a painting to pursue a bitter vengeance; the last transmission of a dying man haunts the airwaves, seeking to reveal his murderer; a treasure hunt disturbs an ancient presence in the silence of a lost tomb. From the vaults of the British Library comes a new anthology celebrating the best works of forgotten, never since republished, supernatural fiction from the early20th century. Waiting within are malevolent spirits eager to possess the living and mysterious spectral guardians--a diverse host of phantoms exhumed from the rare pages of literary magazines and newspaper serials to thrill once more.

On the Embankment - Hugh E. Wright.... Chilling tale of how it happens that one particular seat on the Thames Embankment is never occupied.
The Mystery of the Gables - Elsie Norris..... Yes, it’s the old storyline of spending a night in a haunted house, but here rather well done.
The Missing Word - Austin Philips..... A nicely executed stormy night campfire story, modernized here within a telegraph gallery. Dare I say that the ending was, um... telegraphed?
Phantom Death - Huan Mee..... A mysterious painting has a haunting effect on those who view it.
The Wraith of the Rapier - Firth Scott.... At a superb price, a collector purchases a beautiful centuries-old rapier which creates a bizarre tingling sensation when gripped, and, of course, he gets much more than he bargained for.
The Soul of Maddalina Tonelli - James Barr..... A sweet story of a violinist, a Stradivarius, and a woman with an uncommon interest in him and the instrument.
Haunted! - Jack Edwards..... The exclaimed title is justly followed up with a very strong opening in which, through sight and sounds, we grasp the fear of the frightful visions that are tormenting Ernest Roydon. The story continues apace to a chilling conclusion.
Our Strange Traveller - Percy James Brebner..... Clever tale of two Englishmen on a walking tour in France who espy a most confounding traveler along the way.
A Regent of Love Rhymes - Guy Thorpe..... Originally appearing in the periodical “Lady’s Realm” in 1906, this is a unique and quite touching little gem.
Amid the Trees - Francis Xavier..... An evocative and spellbinding tale of love and longing.
The River’s Edge - Mary Schultze..... A predictable story of faith and a helping hand from beyond.
A Futile Ghost - Mary Reynolds..... Some neat twists and turns distinguish this story of love and inheritance.
Ghosts - Lumley Deakin..... The offbeat opening grabs you by the lapels in this finely crafted tale of greed and treachery.
Kearney - Elizabeth Jordan..... Lieutenant Belden discovers the key ingredient to freeing himself from a relentless haunting presence.
When Spirits Steal - Philippa Forest..... A pair of travelers encounter a frightfully nervous servant girl at an inn. A bizarre series of events soon reveals her unusual affliction.
The House of the Black Evil - Eric Purves..... When the interior of a house is found to be shrouded in complete and utter darkness, a band of townspeople investigate the mystery.
The Woman in the Veil - E. F. Benson..... Effective and atmospheric tale by one of the masters of weird fiction.
The Treasure of the Tombs - F. Britten Austin..... This predictable but nevertheless exciting pulp adventure story (with just a hint of the supernatural) closes out the collection. ( )
