What if the evidence of a crime could haunt you long after death-and make sure you never forget?

The Screaming Skull plunges readers into a windswept New England night where each eerie shriek from a skull foretells madness-or confession. This modern translation preserves Crawford's richly Gothic language while sharpening the pacing for today's audience.

What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation:

  • A Relic That Will Not Rest - Experience the mounting terror as the skull's nightly screams grow louder and more insistent.
  • Unreliable Narration & Slow-Burn Suspense - Is the captain cursed or merely cracking under guilt? Decide for yourself.
  • A Crisp, Contemporary Style - Faithful to the original tone yet clear, tense, and page-turning for modern readers.
  • Timeless Themes of Justice and Conscience - Explore how buried sins demand reckoning-by any means.
  • Fans of ghost stories, locked-room mysteries, and psychological horror will relish this definitive new edition of Crawford's classic.
