COP $ 38.000Rudyard Kipling, celebrated author of The Jungle Book, The Just So Stories and other entertaining fictions, was also a master of the short story in which he was able to combine the strange and unnerving in order to draw the reader into the world of his own dark imaginings.This collection presents the best of these strange tales in which ghost, monsters and inexplicable happenings abound.

The casebook of carnaki the ghost finder
COP $ 38.000Saw something terrible rising up through the middle of the \'deience\'. It rose with a steady movement. I saw it pale and huge through the whirling funnel of cloud - a monstrous pallid snout rising out of that unknowable abyss. It rose higher and higher. Through a thinning of the cloud Isaw one small eye ... a pig\'s eye with a sort of vile understanding shining at the back of it ... \'Thomas Carnacki is a ghost finder, an Edwardian psychic detective, investigating a wide range of terrifying hauntings presented in the nine stories in this complete collection of his adventures.Encountering such spine-chilling phenomena as The Whistling Room, the life-threatening dangers of the phantom steed in The Horse of the Invisible and the demons from the outside world in The Hog, Carnacki is constantly challenged by spiritual forces beyond our knowledge. To complicate matters, he encounters human skullduggery also. Armed with a camera, his Electric Pentacle and various ancient tomes on magic, Carnacki faces the various dangers his supernatural investigations present with great courage. These exciting and frightening stories have long been out of print. Now readers can thrill to them again in this new Wordsworth series.Más información
