Some of the strange stories are horrible and not for the squeamish." - Sydney Morning Herald "These tales of terror and violence are quite nightmarish in their exciting conception." - Glasgow Evening News "Master of the Macabre is certainly macabre and provides just what you want, if you enjoy reading of 'ghosts and ghoulies, long leggity beasties and things that go bump in the night.'" The Star (Sheffield) "It is all very good reading for a windy night, alone in front of an open fireplace." - Winnipeg Tribune "This book is strange, thrilling and certainly macabre." - Yorkshire Evening Press Tayler Kent flees London in a blinding snowstorm, hoping to escape the ghosts that haunt his home. Instead, he finds things may have gone from bad to worse when he crashes his car, breaks his ankle, and is forced to take refuge at a medieval monastery now inhabited by the eccentric Charles Hogarth, known as "The Master of the Macabre." As Kent's ankle heals, Hogarth entertains him with fine food, brandy, and a series of gruesome stories connected with an odd assortment of old relics on display in a curio cabinet. But the terrors are not confined to Hogarth's tales: the monastery is haunted by the evil spirit of an apostate monk and besieged by more corporeal foes, who will stop at nothing to get their hands on one of the Master's treasures. . . . Best known for his series of novels featuring the smuggler Dr. Syn, Russell Thorndike (1885-1972) in The Master of the Macabre (1947) delivers an irresistible mix of horror, adventure, and black humour that is sure to please fans of classic ghost stories and supernatural fiction. This first-ever republication of the novel includes the original jacket art and a new introduction by Mark Valentine.

Download or read book The Book of Night written by Richard Groller and published by MoonDream Press. This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dark and latent reality, not accepted by genteel society. An underworld of primordial images and racial memory, an unwanted peek into the darkness of the past, and maybe a glimpse at some not too distant future.Even today, as man struggles against the beast within, between the light and the darkness in his soul, he sometimes finds that the darkness can be strong, and even the light often verges on shadow, sometimes crossing the boundary to do battle, sometimes winning, sometimes losing to the abyss.Long before Robin Goodfellow traversed the forests of Shakespeare, the creatures of imagery and form portrayed here were tangible and real. They still exist today.The Book of Night is about the dark side - our fear of and fascination with the unknown; of things macabre; of things done in secret; of things done in the dark. Death, destruction, loss, pain, these are all within its domain, and if you choose to bear your soul to the night sky and feel its breath, you too will know its mettle, and evoke the images of this separate reality.Fresh voices and the wisdom of departed masters are both represented for your delight, so please do not hesitate to discover them anew.Come. The Night awaits.
