Hester Holland – The Library
When Margaret takes a summer job as a secretary in an ancient house deep in the countryside, she looks forward to escaping her troubled life in London. The house is steeped in history – it has seen wars, marriages, births – and deaths. For hundreds of years ago the books from the library were stolen, and now the house wants to settle the score by making Margaret a more permanent addition . . .
Pan Macmillan are proud to present a brand new reissue of the first ever edition of The Pan Book of Horror Stories.
Fiendish, fantastic and downright chilling, these tales were originally selected for Pan by legendary horror anthologist Herbert van Thal. Fifty years on, they are as compelling, evocative and macabre as ever. Highlighted by a new introduction from Johnny Mains, 'A Brief History of the Horrors', the legacy of this astonishing collection – that became a defining influence on the genre – is self-evident.
