Beneath a veneer of peace, prosperity, and technological advancement, the Edwardian era was a powder keg of political instability and inequalities. This rising tension is reflected in horror stories of the time: “weird fiction” rears its many heads as the Victorian ghost story finds itself dragged into an increasingly electrical world. 
 
This new collection contains one short horror story from each year of the 1900s, with contributions from Barry Pain, M. R. James, Edith Nesbit, Algernon Blackwood, and other masters of the genre. Brought to eerie life by Lara Berge’s enchanting illustrations, these tales of lunar seduction, haunted artefacts, undead nuns, and chthonic beasts expose the darker side of the Edwardian consciousness.
