[T]hese books are a great addition to a holiday tradition, or, as any time of the year reading."—Prairie Fire "Seth’s design and illustrations are alone worth the price of admission, capturing and interpreting the mood of each story."—Tom Bowden, Book Beat "Seth’s books—petite and illustrated with gorgeous minimalist designs—feel somehow like a more mature version of my childhood traditions.

It is the autumn of 1910, and for fifteen long years Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson have battled R'lluhloig, the Hidden Mind that was once Professor James Moriarty. Europe is creeping inexorably towards war, and a more cosmic conflict is nearing its zenith, as in a single night all the most eminent members of the Diogenes Club die horribly, seemingly by their own hands. Holmes suspects it is the handiwork of a German spy working for R'lluhloig, but his search for vengeance costs an old friend his life. The companions retreat to Holmes's farm on the Sussex Downs, and it is not long before a client comes calling. Three young women have disappeared from the nearby town of Newford, and the locals have no doubt who is responsible. For legend has it that strange amphibious creatures dwell in a city on the seabed, coming ashore every few centuries to take fresh captives. As Holmes and Watson seek out the terrifying interlopers, the scene is set for the final battle that will bring them face to face with the Sussex Sea-Devils, and perhaps with Cthulhu himself...Trade Review"Certainly in contention for the year's best read" - Borg.com

Turner Publishing Company Twelve Nights at Rotter House
Book Synopsis"It's easy to recognize Ocker as a future master of madness after this thrilling haunted house trip."—Fangoria Magazine Felix Allsey is a travel writer with a keen eye for the paranormal, and he’s carved out a unique, if only slightly lucrative, niche for himself in nonfiction; he writes travelogues of the country’s most haunted places, after haunting them himself. When he convinces the owner of the infamous Rotterdam Mansion to let him stay on the premises for 13 nights, he believes he’s finally found the location that will bring him a bestseller. As with his other gigs, he sets rules for himself: no leaving the house for any reason, refrain from outside contact, and sleep during the day. When Thomas Ruth, Felix's oldest friend and fellow horror film obsessive, joins him on the project, the two dance around a recent and unspeakably painful rough-patch in their friendship, but eventually fall into their old rhythms of dark humor and movie trivia. That’s when things start going wrong: screams from upstairs, figures in the thresholds, and more than what should be in any basement. Felix realizes the book he’s writing, and his very state of mind, is tilting from nonfiction into all out horror, and the shocking climax answers a question that’s been staring these men in the face all along: In Rotter House, who’s haunting who?Trade Review"It's easy to recognize Ocker as a future master of madness after this thrilling haunted house trip."—Fangoria Magazine "A good pick if you want to spruce up your haunted house offerings for Halloween.”—Booklist"TWELVE NIGHTS IN ROTTER HOUSE is the best haunted house book I've read in ages.

It has been some years since Jonathan and Mina Harker survived their ordeal in Transylvania and, vanquishing Count Dracula, returned to England to try and live ordinary lives. But shadows linger long in this world of blood feud and superstition - and, the older their son Quincey gets, the deeper the shadows that lengthen at the heart of the Harkers' marriage.

The History Press Ltd Sleep No More
Book SynopsisThis powerful collection of stories of the supernatural combines L.T.C. Rolt''s writing talent with his unparalleled knowledge of Britain''s industrial heritage to produce tales of real mystery and imagination. This haunting anthology takes the reader on a journey from Cornwall to Wales and from the hill country of Shropshire to the west coast of Ireland. ''The House of Vengeance'', set in the Black Mountains of South Wales, tells what happens when a walker becomes lost and disorientated as the mist falls, while in ''The Gartside Fell Disaster'' an old railwayman recounts the terrible night when the ''Mountaineer'' came to grief. Alongside these are twelve other tales of elemental fears and strange and inexplicable happenings. First published in 1948, this enduring collection will appeal to all those who, like Tom Rolt, are passionate about the backdrop of our industrial landscape and will delight and terrify anyone who loves a good old-fashioned ghost story.
