The Collected Supernatural and Weird Fiction of Theo Gift
Victorian Gothic Chills at their finestTheo Gift was not, in fact, a man, but a pseudonym of Dorothy Havers, a great personal friend of the acclaimed children's fiction author, Edith Nesbit.

Although Havers was born in the English county of Norfolk, she moved to the Falkland Islands with her parents in 1854 and in later life wrote fiction for girls set in the South Atlantic islands, which brilliantly describe the local landscape and flora. In 1879 she married George Boulger, a botanist. Her output of supernatural fiction was, though excellent, not large, being principally confined to a small volume entitled, 'Not for the Night Time' published in 1889 which contains four substantial tales. Ghost stories are ideally suited to shorter length and in these tales are no exception, though they are perhaps longer than the norm. Havers died in England in 1923.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Spooky Stories from the Swamp
Florida's famous swamps--from the Everglades to Mosquito Lagoon to Tate's Hell--serve as fitting backdrops for these chilling original stories. Maybe it's because they are often wet, shadowy places of wild beauty where few people dare to penetrate. They are havens for snakes, alligators, black bears, wildcats, and who knows what. People on the run have often hidden in swamps, while others have gotten lost in the watery expanses; the swamp can be a refuge or a nightmare. Mysterious things just happen in swamps.

Ghostlove
With its openly bleeding heart and philosopher's spirit, the odd and undeniably affecting Ghostlove explores ways in which we haunt ourselves."--Paul Tremblay, New York Times Book Review "...a grave yet hilarious meditation on insanity, depression, companionship, and leaving everything behind."--Publishers Weekly "This is a ghost story of the highest order. A spellbinding work that isn't afraid to examine the wonderful, terrifying, and beautiful vulnerability of the human experience. "--Seth Fried, author of The Municipalists and The Great Frustration William Rook is an occultist living in a haunted brownstone in upstate New York. There he has encountered many marvelous and confusing occurrences: an ever-shifting bloodstain on his study floor; his own cynical doppelg瓣nger; a three-winged pigeon; and, most importantly, June, the ghost living in his bedroom. June is everything William has hoped to find--by turns playful and serious, petulant and flirtatious. But she is also secretive and sad, trapped in a hopeless limbo, her past a mystery she won't reveal. William becomes determined to help her, engaging daily in a series of experiments, rituals, and spells. But success means letting June move on, and the more William learns of her past and present, the less sure he is that he's ready to let her go.

The Night Whisperer
A lush, atmospheric Regency Gothic romance with heart-pounding danger, forbidden desire, and a heroine who refuses to be anyone's victim. In 1813, Porphyria Thaxton is a dispossessed young woman of nineteen, stripped of her inheritance and forced into drudgery at the crumbling estate of her cruel relatives. When a vampire begins to prey on those closest to her, she must unravel the dark secrets of her new neighbors at Lichmere Abbey-secrets that draw her into a dangerous dance with the enigmatic Nicholas Crosswood. But Nicholas is not the only man who watches her. There is the steady, principled engineer Mowbray, whose quiet strength awakens feelings Porphyria thought she had buried forever. As betrayal, possession, and ancient curses close in, Porphyria must choose between the safety of a conventional life and the perilous thrill of a love that could save her soul-or destroy it. Rich with moonlit manors, whispered betrayals, and a heroine who fights with wit, courage, and a cricket bat, The Night Whisperer is a seductive blend of Jane Austen's social bite and Bram Stoker's gothic terror. Perfect for readers who crave strong female leads, slow-burn romance, and a touch of the supernatural. If you love Mexican Gothic, The Essex Serpent, or the dark allure of Bridgerton with fangs, this is the book you've been waiting for. Add to cart now-because some secrets are too dangerous to ignore.
