A mysterious news signal emanates from an enigmatic realm, heralding an impending cosmic doom. X-ray evidence unveils the astonishing truth that a sculptor is merging with his creation, transcending the boundaries of physical existence. A gramophone channels the venomous words of a churlish spirit, unleashing its cruel vengeance upon the world. The groundbreaking technologies of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, such as motion photography and television, have ushered in a realm of unfathomable miracles and unsettling nightmares. Pioneers of weird fiction have explored the anxieties at the heart of limitless communication and the capture of images beyond the human eye, weaving seventeen tales of haunted and uncanny media. This captivating collection, curated by Marjorie Bowen, H. Russell Wakefield, Mary Treadgold, and J. B. Priestley, delves into the ghastly potential of these media, offering a chilling glimpse into the eerie and unsettling world of speculative fiction.
