Tales of the Supernatural: Six Romantic Stories

Step behind the veil of Victorian London into a world where love is never safe from the dark.

First published in 1894, Tales of the Supernatural gathers six haunting tales in which romance and the occult are bound together by blood, ritual, and forbidden bargains. From a blood pact sworn beside a lake said to be a gateway to the Bottomless Pit, to a witches' sabbath, a cursed glance, and a debt owed to the Devil himself, James Platt draws on the darkest corners of European folklore — the hanged man's grim relic, the evil eye, the sorcerer's midnight rite — and threads each one with a tender, doomed love story.

This is Gothic fiction at its most atmospheric: cloaked figures on lonely roads, ancient superstitions taken deadly seriously, and lovers who discover that some powers, once invoked, refuse to let go. Long out of print and largely forgotten, this rare Victorian collection resurfaces here for a new generation of listeners who crave the eerie thrill of the supernatural laced with romance.

Six stories. Six bargains with the unknown. One collection that proves love and darkness have always walked hand in hand.
