Featuring drink-fuelled classics such as Robert Louis Stevenson's 'The Body Snatcher' alongside obscurities from periodicals such as Blackwood's Magazine, this new collection offers a (somewhat poisoned) chalice of dark and stormy short fiction, brimming with the weird, the grotesque, the entertaining and the outlandish.\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"The Book Elephant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50732236538189,"sku":"9780712354097","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0829\/0808\/6605\/files\/9780712354097.jpg?v=1734610512","url":"https:\/\/thebookelephant.co.uk\/products\/9780712354097","provider":"The Book Elephant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
