Inside Front Flap:

This is a book of dark deeds for dark nights. In the lawless, violent hill country of lowland Scotland the paths of the imagination are fraught with danger. Werewolves, demons, elves, ghosts, zombies, and other creatures of the Netherworld walk the pages in an anthology of the best of Scottish fantasy and horror. These twenty-one superb stories by masters of the Scottish supernatural form a unique vein in the literature of the macabre. Here is a feast of terror which also illustrates the changing appearance of the supernatural throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; as theology yields to Gothic sensation, feelings become increasingly psychological, and finally approach the borders of the galaxy of science fiction.
