La casa di mezzanotte e altri racconti
Dopo "La bestia dalle cinque dita" (Hypnos, 2017) tornano le storie di William Fryer Harvey, autore di storie del sovrannaturale, con una raccolta che spazia dalle sue prime opere, come la celebre ghost story "Attraverso la brughiera" sino agli ultimi racconti, pubblicati postumi, a tracciare un quadro completo di questo straordinario autore purtroppo spesso dimenticato. Tra ossessioni e stravaganze, William Fryer Harvey in tutta la sua produzione si dimostra un eccellente artigiano delle sue avvincenti, enigmatiche e sardoniche fantasie. Richard Dalby.

The Beast with Five Fingers
Centered on one of the most memorable images in supernatural fiction-a severed hand animated by malign purpose-The Beast with Five Fingers exemplifies W. F. Harvey's gift for making terror arise from precise, almost clinical observation. The tale blends Gothic inheritance with the restrained Edwardian ghost-story tradition, replacing grand melodrama with quiet rooms, inherited objects, nervous testimony, and accumulating dread. Harvey's prose is lucid and controlled, allowing the grotesque premise to become psychologically persuasive and morally unsettling. William Fryer Harvey was a physician as well as a writer, and his medical training is everywhere apparent in his fascination with bodies, nerves, perception, and the uncertain border between life and death. A Quaker by background and a man marked by wartime service and fragile health, Harvey brought to his fiction a humane but unsentimental awareness of vulnerability. His best supernatural stories often ask whether horror lies in external forces or in the disturbed mind that encounters them. This book is highly recommended for readers of classic horror, ghost stories, and early twentieth-century weird fiction. Those who admire M. R. James, Arthur Machen, or Algernon Blackwood will find in Harvey a subtler, cooler, but equally haunting master of the uncanny.

Thy Soul Shall Bear Witness
Thy Soul Shall Bear Witness, Selma Lagerlöf's haunting 1912 novel, fuses social realism, Christian allegory, and Nordic ghost lore into a compact moral drama. Set on New Year's Eve, it follows the brutal drunkard David Holm, whose encounter with the spectral driver of Death's carriage forces him to confront the ruin he has brought upon his wife, children, and the dying Sister Edit. Lagerlöf's style is lucid yet visionary, moving between domestic misery and supernatural judgment with the inevitability of a folktale and the ethical urgency of modern reform literature. Lagerlöf, the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, drew deeply on Swedish oral tradition, Lutheran moral imagination, and her own commitment to social questions. A former teacher and a writer of extraordinary narrative tact, she composed the novel partly in response to contemporary campaigns against tuberculosis, making contagion, poverty, alcoholism, and spiritual responsibility inseparable concerns. Readers drawn to psychologically serious fiction with a mythic frame will find this book unforgettable. It is both a ghost story and a study of conscience, recommended for those interested in Scandinavian literature, moral transformation, and the enduring power of compassionate witness.
