Synopsis "From Shadow Land and Other Ghost Stories"
There was a buzzing in his ears, and a sudden dizziness came over him. The spectre seemed to dance up and down before his terror-glazed eyes, and the ghastly smile seemed to widen-widen on that deathlike countenance.A mysterious tragedy at a beautiful house. A will leaving 80,000 to whoever can find it. A hanged man in the mountains. From Shadow Land and Other Ghost Stories contains three contrasting stories of hauntings with none of them to be read in the dark. Corella Press' final instalment of their crime and mystery collection is a treat for lovers of the genre, promising a thrilling experience filled with twists and turns. You are invited to indulge in three gripping stories, pulled from nineteenth-century Australian newspaper serials, that prove the dead don't always remain lost. Behind every ghost hides a mystery thickened with murder and madness, love and tragedy, and secrecy and deception. Wrapped in a diverse cast of characters to resonate feelings of empathy and hate, From Shadow Land and Other Ghost stories is sure to appeal to a wide range of literary lovers and ghost story aficionados. Maintaining Corella Press' intent, From Shadow Land and Other Ghost Stories gives voice to marginalised Australian writers whose words have been long forgotten. These are women who had to fight to be heard in a period where women's writing was severely undervalued - with some even adopting pseudonyms. While "Silverleaf" may be known by some, Julia S. Harris and "Jenny Wren" have become another mystery over time. Each story is accompanied by an author biography to honour and share the enigmatic lives that these nineteenth-century authors lived. Anyone who is interested in historical Australian fiction will be fascinated by these biographies and what they reveal about life in the nineteenth century. These stories explore the concept of the Australian ghost story in different contexts, from the bushland to the manor and from heartbreak to fear. What was buried has been unearthed. Don't miss out.
