The Black Reaper and Other Stories: A selection of ghost and terror stories 💀 scary.co

Here you have a selection of seventeen ghost and horror stories written by the British author Bernard Capes – a prolific late-Victorian writer whose creativity has inspired and empowered generations of brilliant followers in this genre. Thanks to his works, the evolution of horror, mystery and fantasy literature has grown steadily and diversified for many decades.Therefore, considering Bernard Capes as one of the masters of the Edwardian ghost story is accurate and just, and his determinant role in this literary area is hard to be neglected or forgotten. Sensational and supernatural, weird and mystical, thrilling and sometimes mysterious, the stories that are subjectively gathered in this book seem to never stop to amaze and shock, helping the reader go beyond the limits of reality and burst imagination into realms of unspoken colours, sounds and visions.Yet, despite this apparent separation from the real world, Capes’ horror stories keep a significant attachment to humanity and feelings, his characters remain vivid and natural, although they are passing through weird situation and suffering a lot of pain. Most of the stories that are here selected for 'The Black Reaper' have been originally published in the 'At a Winter's Fire' volume (1899) and can be considered amongst the best published in their age. Nevertheless, they still might cause a positive impression even to some of the most sophisticated and fastidious modern readers.This book includes: – an expert formatting for optimal display on your Kindle or Kindle app – a hyperlinked table of contents – a new cover art and the following seventeen stories: - A Ghost-Child - The Moon Stricken - The Thing in the Forest - Jack and Jill - The Vanishing House - The Marble Hands - The Black Reaper - Dark Dignum - William Tyrwhitt’s “Copy” - A Lazy Romance - Black Venn - An Eddy on the Floor - The Accursed Cordonnier - The Shadow Dance - Dinah’s Mammoth - A Voice from the Pit - The Widow’s Clock.Do enjoy reading them all.
