M. R. James wrote his ghost stories to entertain friends on Christmas Eve, and they went on to both transform and modernise a genre. James harnesses the power of suggestion to move from a recognisable world to one that is indefinably strange, and then unforgettably terrifying. Sheets, pictures, carvings, a dolls house, a lonely beach, a branch tapping on a window, ordinary things take on more than a tinge of dread in the hands of the original master of suspense.

Gaetano and Emilio are in search of La Dolce Vita-wealth, fame, and beautiful women. They encounter the Contessa di Aubria, a mysterious woman with a dark bloodline and penchant for erotica. Will she fulfill their desires, or bring about their destruction? Masquerade & Other Stories is a collection of macabre and erotic tales. Marija Elektra Rodriguez is an award-winning writer of horror and erotica fiction. Her stories have been widely anthologized in Australia and internationally.

'A Strange Story' is an extraordinary testament to the belief in and fascination with the Occult and spiritualism that was prevalent in nineteenth century society, and reflects Bulwer Lytton's own particular views. The young hero, Doctor Allen Fenwick, is utterly unable to counteract the malign influence of the sinister mesmerist Margrave over his beloved, the mystical Lilian, by scientific methods - will this lead him to put aside his rationalist creed and embrace the notion of a world beyond our own? This new edition brings together both the original volumes, and has been completely re-typeset in a modern font to be clear and complete.

Tyler is an amnesiac, drifting aimlessly across the country, struggling to regain his lost memories. When he arrives in Geddy's Moon, a sleepy town in the middle of the Kansas wheat fields, fragments of his past begin to resurface. But as he establishes new relationships in town, and spends time with the local librarian and her son, he finds himself tormented by nightmares that grow more unsettling each night. What horrific events took place before Tyler arrived in Geddy's Moon? And could he have brought a terrifying - and possibly supernatural - danger along with him? As the pieces of his fractured memory begin to fall into place, he fears that it may already be too late to keep himself, and those he's begun to care about, safe from a vicious evil.
