In this chilling anthology, a blood-drenched stranger disrupts the peaceful ramble of two Lake District hikers; a solitary pub offers its patrons something far more sinister than a post-walk refreshment; and a nocturnal trek across the Fens takes a horrifying turn as the mist descends. Tales of eerie trails have been woven into the fabric of our collective imagination since time immemorial. As we've always journeyed on foot, our deepest fears have often trudged alongside us. Whether strolling for leisure or necessity, the wanderers in these classic narratives stumble across invisible thresholds, charting courses towards the otherworldly, the uncanny, and the downright diabolical.
This captivating collection features fifteen spine-tingling stories from a bold cohort of wordsmiths, including the likes of Robert Aickman, Charlotte Riddell, and M. R. James. 'The Haunted Trail: Classic Tales of the Rambling Weird' serves as your spectral companion, guiding you through the eerie unknown. As you delve into these pages, prepare to encounter everything from darkly humorous yarns to bone-chilling accounts that will make you think twice about your next countryside amble.

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.’
