World-renowned cartoonist Seth returns with three new ghost stories for 2021. When the Lady Gwendolen, age six, drops her doll down a staircase, her ladyship solemnly digs her fractured companion a grave. Luckily Mr Puckler, renowned doll doctor, thinks he can help-but when his daughter Else goes missing, he's not sure whose voice he hears calling to him in the night.

For the first time, complete as the author intended them, here are all eight of F. Marion Crawford's supernatural pieces, including the rare story The King's Messenger, as well as such classics as The Upper Berth (considered by many to be the finest ghost story ever written) and many more. Also features a new introduction written especially for this volume by horror scholar Lee Weinstein.
