Have you ever
Felt an unseen presence?
Lived through the same moment before?
Felt a sudden chill when there was no draught?
Heard your name called when there was no-one near?
Known something would happen before it does?
The superb stories in this collection by August Derleth will confirm your worst fears.
He says in the introduction that they are among the best macabre tales he has written.
House Of The Hatchet 
Toeland Robson's father said
I discovered August Derleth and this collection way back in the sixties when he was already famous as one of those who continued or extended the Cthulhu Mythos of H.P.Lovecraft. They don’t write them like that any more. If you like the tradiitonal ghost story or spooky tale this might be right down your alley.
