In the Dark by E Nesbit & Hugh Lamb
Requirements: Epub Reader, 736KB | Retail
Overview: Edith Nesbit is today best known for her works for children: her 1906 novel THE RAILWAY CHILDREN is a classic of the genre. Yet Nesbit had a much darker side, which revealed itself in her tales of terror and the supernatural. Most of these tales were written before the author established herself as a writer of children’s stories, and were soon overshadowed, to be nearly forgotten—with one or two exceptions—for almost one hundred years.
In 1988, Hugh Lamb edited IN THE DARK for the Equation Chillers series, and this new edition adds a further seven stories. Included are such famous tales as ‘Man-Size in Marble’ and ‘John Charrington’s Wedding’, along with less well known—but equally chilling—stories of the supernatural and the macabre. In Nesbit’s twilight world, the dead return from the grave, scientists pursue knowledge to the gates of death—and beyond; souls are bartered to the Devil in exchange for one last wish; a casual wager leads to madness; and a seemingly harmless maker of models exacts a terrible price for a wrong done years before.
