Book Lovers' Happy Hour Three cocktails matched to your taste, three books chosen for you, an hour and a half at the bar. £60 per person. Book a place →
This chilling anthology includes gruesome short stories by the best horror writers from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries - M.R. James, Bram Stoker, Algernon Blackwood, H.P. Lovecraft, Arthur Machen, W.W. Jacobs and Thomas Burke. It also features thoroughly disturbing ghost stories by renowned authors Edith Wharton and E. Nesbit. Between them they cover murder, obsession, changelings, ghosts, evil shadows and curse-bearing caterpillars in settings as varied as a grand house, an inner-city courtyard, a seaside resort and a deserted church. Each one embodies our ongoing fear of the unknown and exploits it to a thrillingly terrifying level.
