The thing hiding under the bed. A mocking voice from beyond the grave. Something left behind in the deserted villa. One man’s terrible penance before death.

Things That Wait in the Dark brings you 20 vintage tales of horrors both natural and supernatural, drawn from the Victorian and Edwardian heyday of macabre short fiction.

This brand new collection was compiled from the archives of the late anthologist Hugh Lamb, and from discoveries made by his son, Richard. You’ll find a host of lesser known stories as well as some not seen in an anthology since their original publication.

Things That Wait in the Dark is a treat for those who love to peer into the darkness of antiquity and see what might be peering back.

Delve, if you dare, into this unique age of ghosts, monsters, murder and gaslit chills.
