Search Tips

+
If you use '+' in front of a word, then that word will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry +Potter will return results with the word 'Potter'.
-
If you use '-' in front of a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry -Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
AND
If you use 'AND' between two words, then both of those words will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry AND Potter will return results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
OR
If you use 'OR' between two words, then bth of those words may or may not be present in the search results.
ex: Harry OR Potter will return results with just 'Harry', results with just 'Potter' and results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
NOT
If you use 'NOT' before a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry NOT Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
""
Placing '""' around words will perform a phrase search. The search results will contain those words in that order.
ex: "Harry Potter" will return any results with 'Harry Potter' in them, but not 'Potter Harry'.
*
Using '*' in a word will perform a wildcard search. The '*' signifies any number of characters. Searches can not start with a wildcard.
ex: Pot*er will return results with words starting with 'Pot' and ending in 'er'. In this case, 'Potter' will be a match.

'I hear from Mrs Barlow, who is a good gossip, that your mother and your sister are both ill. You must, then, have very little company.' 'Very little human company,' she replied. On a moonlit night, a wearied traveller dressed as the Devil calls at the mossy gates of Holcot Grange. Fleeing some bloody misadventure in London, the stranger claims to be heir to the manor which for generations has remained lordless. But among its benighted tenants the enthralling beauty Julia Roseingrave has been waiting and now her means of escape has arrived. As whispers of witchcraft echo through the grounds and the boundaries between lord and servant fray, a cursed romance begins to smoulder and the spectre of death draws near. First published in 1933, this historical novella of Gothic love returns to print alongside six deliciously dark short tales from the British Library vaults, bubbling with wickedness and the occult.
