For those who choose to explore these shores, generations of ghosts, sea-spirits, fairies and tentacled monsters come and go with the tide. This new collection of fifteen short stories, six folk tales and four poems ranging from 1789 to 1933 offers a chilling literary tour of the coasts of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man, including haunting pieces by Frances Hodgson Burnett, Bram Stoker and Charlotte Riddell.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Emily Alder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56261276598597,"sku":"9780712354219","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/3721\/6069\/files\/9780712354219.jpg?v=1763038130","url":"https:\/\/stripyduckbookshopcafe.co.uk\/products\/9780712354219","provider":"The Stripy Duck Bookshop Café","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
