When Shadows At Midnight was published in its original edition in 1979 these are some of the things people said about it: -

"A really creepy collection, they conjure up gruesome influences to linger after the book is done."
Southend & District Standard

"In this masterly collection of tales, the authors take us into that unquiet land, in the witching time of night, where malign presences seek to entwine the unwary in their web of evil. Their ghosts, or evil spirits, or gruesome influences – no one expression sums them all up – remain lingering in their chosen abodes, be it wardrobe, cradle or tomb, to threaten the existence of the innocent. But not all the spirits are terrifying. Some, like the laughing children of Border End, seek to enthral by cajolery, though their threat remains as great. The authors do not delve too far into explanations for their phantoms. Indeed how could they? For who can explain the midnight land?"
William Kimber & Co, London

"All the tales are totally intriguing – whether they are about a boy visiting his aunt, or a man inheriting his aunt’s house, a house purchaser, a vicar, a brass rubbings enthusiast, or a mother and her baby’s cradle."
Grimsby Evening Telegraph

"Ten ghost stories for lovers of the supernatural. A book that will haunt you."
Manchester Evening News

"Present the uncanny in a civilised way."
Yorkshire Evening Post

Shadows At Midnight contains most of our early stories. They are traditional English ghost stories. Not James pastiches, they were inspired by the writers who followed M R James rather than the great man himself.

In April 1999 SHADOWS AT MIDNIGHT became available again. Click HERE
