As the winter nights draw in and you settle in front of a cosy fire, it’s the perfect time for a dash of the supernatural…embrace the gloom with spine-chillers from Charles Dickens, H.G. Wells, Edith Wharton and many more

Do you believe in ghosts?

Ghosts, spirits, spectres or spooks, we have always felt the presence of someone – or something – hovering in the darkest corners of our imaginations.

The great writers of the nineteenth and early twentieth century, from Elizabeth Gaskell to Rudyard Kipling, also produced some of the most influential ghost stories ever written, defining the genre for generations of writers to follow.

Gathered in this thrilling collection are some of the most iconic Victorian ghost stories, from Charles Dickens’s ‘The Signalman’ to M.R. James’s ‘A Warning to the Curious’, alongside more unexpected contributions from masters of the form such as J.S. Le Fanu and H.G. Wells.

You may think you don’t believe in ghosts, but these stories will haunt you nonetheless.

There at the edge of night sky is a young crescent moon, a curl of promise, a hook on which to hang our imaginations. This datebook is a stunning weave of art and writing from women offering radiant wisdom, passionate earth-devotion, love miracles, inventive joy-alarm and outcry!

May the blessings of Silver Linings inspire you each and every day of the coming year! We’Moon accompanies us through the rhythms of earth and sky that pulse through our lives. The datebook presents a comprehensive introduction to astrology; to Sun, Moon, and Earth cycles; and to seasonal Holy Days. We explore the 13 moons of our lunar year in a week-at-a-glance format with daily astrological aspects alongside moon phases and signs. In addition, we include astrological insights for each sun sign; month & year-at-a-glance calendars; a complete ephemeris table for the year, and blank pages for notes. We’Moon 2023 Astrologers-Astrologer Six, Heather Roan Robbins, Sandra Pastorius, Beate Metz, Susan Levitt, and Mooncat!-offer clarifying articles about cosmic events, and how they may affect our opportunities and challenges in the year ahead.
