{"product_id":"out-of-the-past-tales-of-haunting-history","title":"Out of the Past","description":"\"Come inside, my bonny witch-finder. Here is shelter for thee...\"\n\nA tale of callous murder and deranged revenge rings out from fifteenth-century Italy. A witch-finder's great triumph is also the herald of his own doom in Civil War Britain. A prisoner's fate at the hands of the Inquisition in sixteenth-century Mexico leads to an encounter with the bestial and bizarre beneath the waves.\n\nSummoning eleven stories chosen for their uncanny portrayals of weird history, this collection presents a dark timeline of grim visions harking from plague-racked England to revolutionary France and culminating in the last gasps of the nineteenth century. \n\nIncluding stories by the greatest writers of history-turned-horrifying such as Marjorie Bowen, Frederick Cowles, Vernon Lee and the lost genius Vincent O'Sullivan, this volume is capped by two of Aaron Worth's own tales of Victorian macabre alongside a chiller evoking M. R. James by the adapter of his stories for radio, Sheila Hodgson.","brand":"British Library Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54008316690776,"sku":null,"price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780712355605.jpg?v=1770507018","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/out-of-the-past-tales-of-haunting-history","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
