All of them are strange brews, full to the brim with spirit. This wicked blend of murder and the occult has Harry Angel, hard-boiled private eye, hired to investigate the case of a missing man, Johnny Favorite. A once promising crooner injured in the Second World War, Favorite has fallen off the face of the earth. For it turns out that Favorite kept some unusual company and had an interest in the otherworldly. Against a backdrop of s New York, Hjortsberg fashions a wonderful, twisted, supernatural noir.

Complete with a sharp plot, tortured humor, and moments of visceral horror. This is actually a collection of stories, but I had to include the daddy of all supernatural sleuths. Carnacki is a bachelor with time on his hands, a ghost-finding toolkit including the wonderfully named "Electric Pentacle" and a penchant for regaling the details of his cases over a glass of something after dinner.

The cases may feel formulaic and the Edwardian prose might seem a little moth-eaten. Is it all smoke and mirrors, Scooby-Doo style, or are there dark and terrifying spectral forces at work? This popular genre mash-up has a time-travelling serial killer called Harper from Depression-era Chicago dispatching of a series of "shining" victims—until he meets his match in Kirby. These supernatural tales are drawn from the caseload of the fictional Dr Hesselius, researcher into all things metaphysical. They chart strange journeys through madness and hallucination, spirit-sightings, and otherworldly interventions.

These stories demand to be read on a stormy night, with the windows rattling and the wind wailing and a glass of the strong stuff at hand. All manner of uncanniness kicks off when Arthur Kipps, a hardworking solicitor, arrives at Eel Marsh House to wrap up the affairs of the late Mrs. Replete with repressed secrets, this is a masterful supernatural mystery with an eerie, isolated setting. It follows a series of different viewpoints through letters and journal entries, and has a range of iconic, evocative locations.

It has also produced, to my mind, one of the most striking images in literature—Count Dracula crawling down the castle wall. For crucifixes, the relentless un-dead, the commodification of the souls of virgins, and bloodsucking with all the interpretations we can heap on this we have Stoker to thank. In post-war England, rural Warwickshire, a doctor makes a house call at Hundreds Hall, a crumbling stately home occupied by a mother and her offspring.

The class system haunts this tale too. Despite humble origins, Dr. The Little Stranger is not the scariest of ghost stories, although many of the conventions are there. But I love the whole creaking, crumbling atmosphere of it. Four old friends meet to tell each other ghost stories. One dies in mysterious circumstances.

Now something seems to be picking them off one by one. The book has a sprawling, sometimes slow-burning plot peppered with spikes of breath-holding suspense, as well as a snowed-in small town setting. This novel balances a twisted mystery, themes of guilt and retribution, and heaps of supernatural horror.

Alison is a stage-show medium, traveling the circuit, picking up a dour helper, Colette, en route. While Alison gives her clients comfort she knows that the afterlife is not a place of peace. Alison has her own methods of keeping her own traumatic past at bay, but history keeps resurfacing. But also for the way in which Beyond Black explores how we deal with the phantoms of childhood, especially when that childhood is deeply damaged.

This mesmerizing novella from Henry James is a work of genius. Everything is perfectly pitched: There are sinister sub-textual ripples, moments of profound menace, confusing, twisting, lavishly punctuated sentences and that central question—is this a case of malevolent haunting or a descent into madness and obsession?
