Book description
Hester Holland - The Library
When Margaret takes a summer job as a secretary in an ancient house
deep in the countryside, she looks forward to escaping her troubled life
in London. The house is steeped in history - it has seen wars,
marriages, births - and deaths. For hundreds of years ago the books from
the library were stolen, and now the house wants to settle the score by
making Margaret a more permanent addition . . . Pan Macmillan are proud
to present a brand new reissue of the first ever edition of The Pan Book
of Horror Stories. Fiendish, fantastic and downright chilling, these
tales were originally selected for Pan by legendary horror anthologist
Herbert van Thal. Fifty years on, they are as compelling, evocative and
macabre as ever. Highlighted by a new introduction from Johnny Mains, 'A
Brief History of the Horrors', the legacy of this astonishing collection
- that became a defining influence on the genre - is self-evident. We
have made an exclusive few available digitally, so choose your next
nightmare here . . .
