The fabric of Dorothy K. Haynes' weird fiction is truly the stuff of nightmares, where horrors cruel and mundane are interwoven with threads of dark fairy folklore and twisted witchcraft to deliver heady supernatural thrills. In this new collection, Haynes expert Craig Lamont presents the essential classics of her strange storytelling alongside rarities from obscure anthologies and magazines - and several stories exhumed from the family archive which have never been published before. Featuring illustrations by Mervyn Peake from the Library's collections, this volume knits the irresistible pull of Haynes' unique brand of the uncanny with a rare opportunity to discover new material from one of the great weavers of Scottish horror.

Johnny Mains is an author and award-winning editor renowned for recovering lost stories from the archives.

Dorothy K. Haynes (1918-1987) was a Scottish novelist, journalist and short story writer who came to specialize in the ghostly and weird tale. Her impressive collection Thou Shalt Not Suffer a Witch was published in 1949, and she became a regular contributor to the legendary Fontana and Pan horror anthologies in the 1970s.
