About this product

Product Information

Introduction by David Stuart Davies A grey cloud formed on the summit of the altar, diminishing, thickening and turning into a Shape, a shape of evil and fear. The silent group by the fire once more broke forth into wild gesticulations and cries, Stella prostrated herself, the Form on the altar grew clearer and with a cry of horror Mr Fowke turned away and rushed madly across the moor . Amyas Northcote's 'In Ghostly Company' is a rare and splendid collection of strange and disturbing tales from the golden age of ghost stories. His style is akin to that of the master of the genre M.R. James: it is measured and insidiously suggestive, producing unnerving chills rather than shocks and gasps. Northcote's tales make the reader unsettled and uneasy. This is partly due to the fact that the hauntings or strange occurrences take place in natural or mundane surroundings surroundings familiar to the reader but never before thought of as unusual or threatening. Long out of print, this book remains an enthralling and chilling read. AUTHOR: Amyas Northcote (1864 1923) was an English writer, and the son of the First Earl of Iddesleigh, who was the Chancellor of the Exchequer under Disraeli. A wealthy investment banker, Northcote wrote articles for popular magazines in his spare time, and published one book, 'In Ghostly Company'. Copies of the book became collector's items for lovers of the ghost story, and the title was revived by Wordsworth in 2010.

Described as very good condition, item received was in very poor condition. Message to seller was ignored and after initiating a return, I was offered 50% refund. Previous purchases from this seller have been positive, and I thought they would be concerned about such an unsatisfactory delivery. I was wrong and their shabby offer of making unacceptable goods half price was an insult. Fortunately ebay’s money back guarantee served justice. Unfortunately for me World of Books has lost its ingrity

I received my item from overseas and the DVD had a split in it, from being sent in a cardboard post pack with no padding. I contacted the seller but no response so far. So not happy
