Stephen Jones: Coming Soon

In a writing career that lasted for more than forty years, Ronald Chetwynd-Hayes published more than 200 short stories and was Britain's undisputed "Prince of Chill". Now multiple award-winning editor Stephen Jones has compiled the first spine-chilling volume of The Best Short Stories of R. Chetwynd-Hayes—thirteen classic tales of terror that combine horror and humour in equal measure. In this volume you will encounter a 19th century serial killer who refuses to remain dead; an old door that opens into a spectral room from the past; a television set which receives transmissions from Hell; a village of flesh-eaters hidden down a country lane; a demonic baby, and a family of ghostly children. Additionally, "the world's only practising psychic detective" Francis St. Clare and his assistant Frederica Masters investigate one of their most bizarre cases, 'The Gibbering Ghoul of Gomershal'. These are just some of The Best Short Stories of R. Chetwynd-Hayes. Be afraid. Very afraid . . .
