Taken from the cover of the dust jacket: 'In this masterly collection of tales, the authors take us into that unquiet land, in the witching time of night, where malign presences seek to entwine the unwary in their web of evil. Their ghosts, or evil spirits, or gruesome influences - no one expression sums them all up - remain lingering in their chosen abodes, be it wardrobe, cradle or tomb, to threaten the existence of the innocent. But not all spirits are terriying. Some, like the laughing children of Border End, seek to enthrall by cajolery, though their threat remains as great. The authors do not delve too far into explanations for their phantoms. Indeed, how could they? For who can explain the midnight land?'
 
Blue cloth with silver lettering to the spine. The boards are in very good to almost fine condition, with only the slightest hint of wear. Complete with unclipped [£4.95 net] dust jacket featuring a wraparound pictorial design. The jacket is also in very good condition with only minor wear to the edges. The contents are clean and bright. Definitely a giftworthy book.
