About this item
by Mark Valentine (Author)
"I am, and ever have been, a great reader . . . a library cormorant. I am deep in all out of the way books." - S. T. Coleridge (1796)
The twelve stories in Lost Estates offer antiquarian mysteries, book-collecting adventures, and otherworldly encounters. Mark Valentine's amiable scholars and wanderers explore lonely and mysterious landscapes, places of legend, and secret history. Though drawing on the traditions of English supernatural fiction, these stories also strike out into unusual terrain.
Mark Valentine's short stories have been selected for the Ghosts & Scholars books edited by Rosemary Pardoe, Best British Short Stories edited by Nicholas Royle, Best New Horror edited by Stephen Jones, The Mammoth Books of Ghost Stories edited by Richard Dalby, and many other anthologies.
