{"product_id":"9780712354134","title":"Holy Ghosts : Classic Tales of the Ecclesiastical Uncanny by Fiona Snailham","description":"\"I confess I have a particular dislike to remain in a church after dusk; it recalls to my mind the most painful story I ever heard.\"A festering evil lurks in the grotesque carvings of a cathedral's hallowed inner sanctum; sheltering in an Alpine chapel, a young libertine confronts his eerie monastic doppelganger; locked in a Spanish cathedral, a honeymooning couple bears witness to a fatal procession. Churches and other sacred sites have inspired writers of the weird and uncanny for centuries as spaces in which death and the afterlife are within touching distance - where ghosts, demons and possessed effigies remain to haunt the living. Through eleven stories published between 1851 and 1935, this new anthology revives a throng of undying spirits from a host of unsung and classic authors including Elizabeth Gaskell, M. R. James, John Wyndham, and Edith Wharton.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56296660795765,"sku":"9780712354134","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780712354134.jpg?v=1762772568","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780712354134","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
