    Perhaps her new studies filled her mind with the clear, gladsome morning light of the pure intellect, which always throws doubt and distrust and a kind of negation upon the moonlight of passion, mysterious, and mingled ever with faint shadows of pain. I walked as in an unresting sleep. Utterly as I loved her, I was yet alarmed and distressed to find how entirely my being had grown dependent upon her love; how little of individual, self-existing, self-upholding life, I seemed to have left; how little I cared for anything, save as I could associate it with her.

    

    Cowles, an admirer of M.R. James, Bram Stoker, Sheridan Le Fanu, and Edgar Allan Poe, drew on all of these influences for his tales, which range from the horrific to the gently sentimental.It was not until twenty-five years after his death that it was learned that Cowles had written a third, unpublished, collection of supernatural tales, entitled Fear Walks the Night. These tales languished in obscurity, as did Cowles's previously published stories, and it was not until 1973, when Hugh Lamb included 'Terrible Mrs Greene' in his anthology A Wave of Fear, that Cowles began to emerge from the shadows. Lamb was almost single-handedly responsible for resurrecting Cowles's weird tales from obscurity; and it was he who discovered, through correspondence with Cowles's widow, the existence of Fear Walks the Night.The Night Wind Howls includes all sixty-one of Frederick Cowles's supernatural stories, as well as an account of 'true' hauntings written by Cowles and never before reprinted. The collection has a foreword by the author's son, and is introduced by Hugh Lamb, who provides a fascinating look at an author whose works remained in shadow for so long. There is also a photograph of Cowles and illustrations of the two extremely rare dust jackets from The Horror of Abbot's Grange and The Night Wind Howls.CONTENTS: Foreword by Michael Cowles; Introduction by Hugh Lamb; THE HORROR OF ABBOT'S GRANGE (1936): 'The Horror of Abbot's Grange'; 'The House on the Marsh'; 'Room for One'; 'The New Inn'; 'Terrible Mrs Greene'; 'The Mandarin's Chair'; 'The Haunted Church'; The Castle in the Forest'; 'The Bell'; 'One Side Only'; 'Guardians of the Dead'; 'The Unfinished Tower'; 'The Headless Leper'; 'The Pink Columbine'; 'Passenger from Crewe'; 'The Ring'; 'Eyes for the Blind'; 'Treasure Trove'; 'The Limping Ghost'; 'The Thing from the Sea'; THE NIGHT WIND HOWLS (1938): 'Rendezvous'; 'The House of the Dancer'; 'Wood Magic'; 'Twisted Face'; 'June Morning'; 'The Witch-finder'; 'The Florentine Mirror'; 'The Vampire of Kaldenstein'; 'Lavender Love'; 'The Mask of Death'; 'King of Hearts'; 'Voodoo'; 'The Little Saint of Hell'; 'Confession'; 'The Lamasery of Beloved Dreams'; 'The Cadaver of Bishop Louis'; 'Out of the Darkness'; 'The Lover of the Dead'; 'The Caretaker'; 'Gypsy Violin'; 'Death in the Well'; 'Retribution'; 'Lady of Lyonnesse'; 'Rats'; FEAR WALKS THE NIGHT (1993): 'Fear Walks the Night'; 'Punch and Judy'; 'The Florentine Chest'; 'Variety Show'; Prince of Darkness'; 'Death of a Rat'; 'The Echo of a Song'; 'The House in the Forest'; 'Goosefeather Bed'; 'Christmas Eve'; 'Three Shall Meet'; 'Lisheen'; 'Voodoo Drums'; 'The Strange Affair at Upton Stonewold'; 'Gypsy Hands'; 'The End of the Lane'; 'Twilight'; 'Do You Believe in Ghosts?'; Afterword by Neil Bell.Jacket art is by Linda Dyde.

    Citro takes us on a tour of every haunted corner of his native state. Combining the skills of a scrupulous researcher and masterful storyteller, Citro expands the terrain covered in his earlier books, venturing farther than ever before into the realms of the mysterious, the paranormal, and the just plain weird.We tour a home designed by otherworldly architects, pass the night in haunted hotels, visit an antigravity spot, and search for demon-protected treasure.We take a ride on Vermont's only ghost ship, visit tiny fairyland castles, and see a city in the sky. Then we try to determine who -- or what -- is buried in a mysterious grave in Cambridge.We meet the last woman to be hanged in Vermont, explore the strange fate of a girl who heard the music of the spheres, and consider the bashful prophetess who saw God but was too shy to tell anyone.Along the way we encounter villains and visionaries, misfits and monsters, in a state full of egotists, oddballs, and spiritual eccentrics. Skeptics and believers alike will delight in these strange but (maybe) true stories that can be read as regional history, folklore, or simply as entertainment. Guaranteed to amuse, tickle, and terrify!

    The only practical travel guide on the subject ever published, this book provides useful and current information on haunted places--complete with addresses, instructions for finding sites, historical background on the place and region, what to look for when you get there, and what to expect once you've had an encounter.

Soon the town of Wiltshire will be shaken again. For in a car sunk beneath the surface of a glimmering blue lake, floats another body. And the killing has just begun....
