Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Limited edition of 400 copies for sale. FINE in a FINE dust wrapper, essentially as new. David G. Rowlands had been writing ghost stories for the British small press for many years before this collection appeared, and his supernatural fiction had won him a large following among enthusiasts of the genre. Several of his tales had been published in anthologies of supernatural stories, including the Year's Best Horror series edited by the late Karl Edward Wagner. Rowlands had developed a particular specialty: writing stories that continued the adventures of E.G. Swain's Mr Batchel, the mild-mannered clergyman from Stoneground, "the most haunted parish in England." This collection reprints more than thirty of Rowlands's tales, including several new stories written specifically for this edition.
