Just beyond the firelight, nasty things are waiting in the shadows ...
As the nights draw in and the old year slips away, the haunting season begins. Twigs scrape at windowpanes in the darkness, mysterious footprints are found in the snow, and all sorts of mysteries, monsters and nastiness are in the offing. Bringing together ten classic tales of mystery, murder and mayhem from the greatest writers in the genre, Murder by Candlelight will puzzle your mind and chill your blood in equal measure. Whether spine-chillingly supernatural or all-too-human, the ghastly protagonists of these stories are always one step ahead. Featuring work from classic authors of the genre such as Dorothy L Sayers, Carter Dickson, Cyril Hare, Ethel Lina White, Simon Brett, Freeman Wills Croft, Sapper, JS Fletcher, Catherine Aird, and Fergus Hume.
