Description
The sea that night sang rather than chanted; all along the far-running shore a rising tide dropped thick foam, and the waves, white-crested, came steadily in with the swing of a deliberate purpose.
From foreboding cliffs and lonely lighthouses to rumbling shingles and silted estuaries, the coasts of the British Isles have stoked the imaginations of storytellers for millennia, lending a rich literary significance to these spaces between land and sea. For those who choose to explore these shores, generations of ghosts, sea-spirits, fairies and tentacled monsters come and go with the tide.
This new collection of fifteen short stories, six folk tales and four poems, ranging from 1789 to 1933, offers a chilling literary tour of the coasts of Great Britain, Ireland, and the Isle of Man, including haunting pieces by Frances Hodgson Burnett, Bram Stoker, and Charlotte Riddell.
