And made into an acclaimed, chilling 10-part Ridley Scott-produced BBC TV series
Hailed as the most advanced scientific enterprise ever mounted, Sir John Franklin's 1845 expedition in search of the fabled North-West Passage had every expectation of triumph.
But for almost two years his ships HMS Terror and Erebus have been trapped in the Arctic ice. Supplies of fuel and food are running low. Scurvy, starvation and even madness have begun to take their toll. And yet the real threat isn't from the constantly shifting, alien landscape, the flesh-numbing temperatures or being crushed by the unyielding, frozen ocean. No, the real threat is far more terrifying.
Because there is something out there in the frigid darkness. It stalks the ships and snatches men. It is a nameless thing. At once nowhere and everywhere, this terror will become the expedition's nemesis . . .
Readers are gripped by The Terror:
***** 'One of the best books I have ever read. I couldn't put it down!'
***** 'A tremendous weighty achievement in atmosphere and storytelling.'
***** 'So beautifully written and well researched. I can't praise this book highly enough.'
A headless coachman drives his carriage of lost souls towards a violent fate. A mother’s obsession with eugenics spirals into a cruel madness. An adulterous pair are plagued by the suspicion that their dog means to expose their darkest secrets.
In 1911, Violet Hunt published her groundbreaking collection of short stories entitled Tales of the Uneasy, which explored a world of psychological and ghostly hauntings, shot through with high tragedy and strange horror. Over time, Hunt’s reputation as a literary hostess obscured her important contribution to British weird fiction, and now her uncanny collection—recognised by R. S. Hadji as one of his thirteen “neglected masterpieces of the macabre”—is long overdue its rightful place among the great weird works of the Edwardian era.
At times utterly chilling, startlingly bleak and darkly comic, this new edition also includes Hunt’s rare and revised novella version of the beguiling title story, ‘The Tiger Skin’.
