St. John D Seymour was a minister and explorer, who spent his life
documenting what he regarded as real-life examples of witches,
banshees, poltergeists, ghosts and apparitions. Many of the Gothic
romance and horror stories, particularly those dating back to the
1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly
expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable,
high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

There is also something so natural, and at the same time so
unnatural, in seeing a door open when we know that no human hand
rests on the knob, or in hearing the sound of footsteps, light or
heavy, and feeling that it cannot be attributed to the feet of
mortal man or woman.
Originally published in 1929, this volume was intended to draw
attention to the relatively neglected area of early Anglo-Irish
literature. Covering the period between the Anglo-Norman settlement
of Ireland and the printing of Richard Stanihurst's translation of
Virgil, the text illustrates the richness of this literature
through abundant quotation from a variety of sources, both
religious and secular. The style is accessible and in keeping with
Seymour's aim of making the ordinary reader aware of a literary
tradition they might otherwise remain ignorant of. This is an
important book that will be of value to anyone with an interest in
early Irish literature, and the history of literary criticism.
