Carnacki: Heaven and Hell

Meet an Edwardian occult detective who goes where no other gentleman will dare. Nine stories and a novella take Carnacki deep into neolithic barrows and the crypts of ancient cathedrals, and he faces the elemental powers of darkness on his terms in William Meikle's collection. Featuring such cases as the battle-hardened old soldiers who lay sick and abed in fear for their souls-only Carnacki, with his intimate knowledge of the powers of darkness, can help them. The rituals of an infamous club have left their mark on a mirror, leading Carnacki into a fight to stop his own home from being overrun by the forces of darkness. Danger to the daughter of a Scottish Lord leads our hero to a remote castle and the uncovering of the secret behind a legend that has persisted for centuries. A cruise ship is berthed in Liverpool, deserted by passengers and crew, and stuck in port until Carnacki can remove the cause of their terror, apparitions of disaster, and shipwreck. When one of the churches of London changes its chimes, something old starts to wake. Can the Ghost Hunter stop it before it is too late?
