Forgotten Tales of Terror
Description
Hardcover – Published in 1978 by Eyre Methuen.
Hugh Lamb’s collections of horror stories will need no introduction to enthusiasts of macabre fiction. And in Forgotten Tales of Terror he has once again assembled a collection of classic short stories that he has researched from the works of past masters of the genre.
The stories range wide and deep in their examination of ghosts, terror and the supernatural. From the horrifying Cadaver of Bishop Louis, a haunting tale in the best M. R. James tradition, to the spine-chilling The Third Eye, which is all the more chilling for its unusual location.
There is plenty here to disturb the composure of the most hardened devotee of horror stories – a fund of newly discovered tales which, once read, will never again be forgotten.
