As the nights draw in and the old year slips away, the haunting season begins. Twigs scrape at windowpanes in the darkness, mysterious footprints are found in the snow, and all sorts of mysteries, monsters, and nastiness are in the offing.

Whether spine-chillingly supernatural or all-too-human, the ghastly protagonists of these stories are always one step ahead.

Featuring work from classic authors of the genre such as Dorothy L. Sayers, Carter Dickson, Cyril Hare, Ethel Lina White, Simon Brett, Freeman Wills Croft, Sapper, J.S. Fletcher, Catherine Aird, and Fergus Hume.
