Previously unpublished grim dark novella by Tanith Lee

A science fantasy novel set in Storm Constantine's Wraeththu Mythos. The town of Ferelithia has a dark history, despite its reputation as a party town. Its secrets begin to seep from the soil and the sea, as ghosts of the past seek revenge.

In 1979, a team of investigators working for a magazine based in the Midlands of England followed a trail of cryptic clues to discover a hidden green gemstone once possessed by Mary Queen of Scots and a secret society called The Order of Meonia. Lost for over three-and-a-half centuries, the stone was said to hold ancient supernatural power. When the relic was taken to the offices of the magazine, an old Victorian house in the English town of Wolverhampton, inexplicable events, witnessed by dozens of observers, began to occur.•An unexplained dense, incense-smelling smoke filled the entire building each night as darkness fell.•The mysterious sound of footsteps, eerie noises and unearthly voices drove terrified visitors away.•Objects began to move and be thrown around, seemingly of their own volition, and an odious blue, gelatinous substance oozed from the walls.•An ominous, dark, faceless figure appeared and disappeared before the very eyes of those involved.•The sleeping bag of a member of the team spontaneously combusted as he slept in the building overnight.•Ultimately, nine people stood witness to hellish, unearthly cries, and bright balls of fiery light exploding over a nearby wood, when the awesome power of the stone was finally unleashed.The Green Stone is not only a spellbinding real-life historical detective story, but one of the most extraordinary true tales of the paranormal ever told.Augmented with four dozen additional, previously unpublished illustrations and photographs, this special 40th anniversary edition has been revised and updated and includes a new introduction by Graham Phillips."One of the most remarkable true stories I have ever read." Weekend"If you only read one book in your life, read this one." Psychic News"A thrilling paranormal adventure." Today

The Lord of the Looking Glass is the first collection of stories by Fiona McGavin and showcases her extraordinary talent for taking genre tropes and turning them around into something completely new. What if the magic mirror owned by the Witch Queen in Snow White could tell its own story? Perhaps there is more than one view to the tale and the spirit trapped in the looking-glass is not always honest.Throughout this collection, Fiona plays deftly with topsy-turvy relationships between supernatural creatures and people of the real world. 'Post Garden Centre Blues' reveals an unusual relationship between taker and taken in a twist of the changeling myth. 'A Tale from the End of the World' and 'He May Grow Roots' take the reader into Fiona's developing mythos of a post-apocalyptic world, which is bizarre, Gothic and steampunk all at once. Magpie features a girl scavenging from the dead on a battlefield, whose callous greed invokes a dire curse. Following in the tradition of exemplary short story writers like Tanith Lee, Liz Williams and Lisa Tuttle, Fiona has a wonderful imagination and a vivid style of writing that brings intriguing new visions to fantasy, horror and science fiction.
