"There's a peculiar occurrence here during the Yuletide season. I initially dismissed it as mere folklore, but these ancient dwellings... one hears the most peculiar things-" He shrugged and gazed intently at the flames...

Drawn from the British Library's vast archives comes a fresh compilation for those long winter evenings—when the veil between our world and the supernatural realm grows gossamer-thin—introducing a new cast of phantoms, fiends, apparitions, and wraiths, all drawn to the warmth of the fireside. This collection features eighteen timeless tales spanning from 1864 to 1974, interweaving Victorian-era spine-tinglers with unsettling contemporary works by L. P. Hartley and Mildred Clingerman. Unearthed from obscure anthologies and periodicals are long-forgotten narratives, alongside unexpected ghostly offerings from renowned authors such as Winston Graham and D. H. Lawrence. The anthology also includes stories tinged with dark humour from Elizabeth Bowen and Celia Fremlin, among other chilling Christmastide offerings.

Curated by Tanya Kirk, "Haunters at the Hearth: Eerie Tales for Christmas Nights" promises to be the perfect companion for those seeking spectral stories to enliven their festive evenings.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
