Just arrived: @daniel-mcgachey.bsky.social's 'By No Mortal Hands' featuring sequels/prequels to ghost stories of MR James, reminiscences of Dr Lawrence (the superb novella, 'Ting-a-ling-a-ling' among them) and a Dr. H. S. Grace selection. #Ghosts&Scholars #Lurkio đź–¤

By No Mortal Hands cover. A beast with four fingers caught in spiders webBack cover blurb. "Ancient windows look out onto nightmarish scenes, bizarre clocks chime out hidden hours in which the dead walk, spectral forms haunt moonlit forests and distant shorelines, curious books conceal horrifying contents, and hideous secrets, monstrous fates, and creeping, crawling terrors are dredged up from their unhallowed resting places! Whether it’s through the reminiscences of Dr Lawrence, a folklorist unable to escape the dark shadows of his own uncanny speciality... or in a trio of sequels and prequels to the classic works of the father of the modern ghost story, M.R. James... or by delving into the stories and strange legacy of one of Dr James’s more obscure and long-forgotten contemporaries... BY NO MORTAL HAND is a collection of antiquarian ghost stories that pays tribute to a golden age of supernatural storytelling."Cover of Dr H. S. Grace's supernaturally rare 'Further Tales from a Ghostly Study.'
