A haunting presence lurks within the grotesque carvings of a cathedral's hallowed inner sanctum, seeking refuge in an Alpine chapel. In a Spanish cathedral, a newlywed couple finds themselves trapped amidst a fatal procession. Churches and other sacred sites have long served as fertile grounds for writers of the weird and uncanny, as they are spaces where death and the afterlife are mere steps away. Ghosts, demons, and possessed effigies persist in haunting the living, imbuing these places with a chilling aura.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough eleven captivating stories published between 1851 and 1935, this new anthology brings forth a multitude of undying spirits from a host of unsung and classic authors.
