Supernatural Stories

<p><strong>Supernatural Stories</strong></p><p>By Tony Walker</p><p>From haunted houses to forests where the silence has teeth from ancient curses to modern demons these tales move between the strange the chilling and the uncomfortably familiar.</p><p>A door knocks where no visitor could stand. A coastal town watches for a beast that should not exist. In the heart of Whitby something stirs beneath the waves. A parasite of the mind rewrites lives from the inside out. And in a basement room off Edinburgh's Candlemaker Row an artist discovers her greatest work - and the price it demands.</p><p>Each story stands alone yet all are bound by a common thread: the unseen pressing against the fabric of the everyday. Here are encounters with what lies just beyond sight - and sometimes with what is already inside us.</p><p> </p><p>For readers who relish M. R. James's creeping dread Robert Aickman's disquieting ambiguities and the modern unease of contemporary horror <em>Supernatural Stories</em> offers a journey through places you might recognise but will never see in quite the same way again.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Includes:</strong></p><ol><li>A Knock on the Door</li><li>The Monolith</li><li>The Parlour of Futures Lost</li><li>The Holly King</li><li>The Chimera</li><li>The Haunted House</li><li>What the Forest Took</li><li>Toxoplasma Gondii</li><li>The Small Ones</li><li>A Bad Egg</li><li>The Struwwelpeter</li><li>The Beast of Whitby</li><li>Thames Dark Halloween Ale</li></ol>
