A treasure trove examining early speculative fiction, Scarborough’s covers the period from Horace Walpole’s Castle of Otranto and other Gothic romances straight through to the author’s own present times in the early 20th Century. Horror and fantasy were a major part of the world’s literary output from the very beginnings of popular literature. From Walpole, Maturin, and Shelley right through to Doyle, Machen, and Blackwood, Scarborough reveals the best works in an accessible and well-organized fashion.

“Your place is here now.” It sounds like an invitation. It’s actually a command.

In this collection of horrors, Jason Fischer turns familiar spaces into deadly traps:

A dinner with a new “mother” who wasn’t invited. A Halloween visitor offers a treat you must not refuse. A puzzle book that predicts your future—and takes its cut. A cardboard cutout boy that won’t stay where it’s put. A dark carnival ride with no power runs perfectly on what you fear most.

These and other tales of folk, psychological, and elevated horror converge on one message: your place is here now. Take your seat.

“The overall impact of the collection is genuinely unsettling, lingering long after the last page. That enduring unease is precisely what elevates Fischer’s collection beyond surface-level horror into something far more memorable.”–Booksterr
