Invaders from the Dark

"Take the box and get away from here as soon as you can. Don't let it out of your sight until it has been printed and the books distributed!" 

In May 1921, Miss Sophie Delorme beings a series of communications with a publishing house in search of a genuine student of the occult. Coming upon the supernatural author, Ms. Greye La Spinda, Miss Delorme implores her to take possession of a mysterious manuscript and see that it is published by any means necessary; and–after transferring ownership–is pulled away by invisible hands; her house immediately destroyed by explosion. The manuscript, now in the hands of Ms. Greye Spina, is soon published–but not without incident–and details the extremely strange matter that occurred in the neighborhood of Meadowlawn, Lynbrook and changed the life of Miss Sophie Delorme’s niece, Portia. 

Professionally typeset with a beautifully designed cover, this edition of Invaders From the Dark is a classic of horror literature reimagined for the modern reader.
