This anthology not only exhibits the thematic diversity from one chilling tale to another but also demonstrates the evolving approach to supernatural fiction, making it a standout compilation in its genre. The authors included are integral to the foundational pillars of supernatural and mystery literature. Figures like Edgar Allan Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne contribute American Gothic tensions while European contemporaries such as Guy de Maupassant and Anton Chekhov offer a Continental perspective. Collectively, these writers have shaped and been shaped by various cultural and literary movements, including Romanticism, Victorianism, and the early stages of Modernism. Their varied backgrounds and distinctive voices converge in this anthology, providing a multifaceted exploration of the themes of fear, morality, and the unknown. Readers of 'Supernatural Mysteries' are invited to traverse gloomy moors, haunted manors, and shadowy streets through tales that have been thrilling audiences for over a century.

    What if everything you thought you knew about reality was only half the story? 
    When the author stumbled upon a hidden collective known only as Image Carriers, his life changed forever. What they revealed were secrets never meant for the public—knowledge so powerful it challenges everything we have been told. 
    This book defies every boundary of what you think you know. It pierces the veil of forbidden wisdom, revealing truths long buried by those who fear their power. Within these pages are psychological tools of transformation—ancient methods capable of extraordinary healing, silenced for generations. At its core lies the greatest mystery of all: the Other Self—your cosmic double, a hidden force that shapes your fate from the shadows. Awaken it, and nothing in your life—or the world—will ever be the same again. 
    But this is not just about uncovering the shocking truth about life after death. It is a journey into covert gatherings, paranormal encounters, and mystical phenomena—a labyrinth of secret truths and elite deception. Guided by a circle of highly intuitive minds, the unsuspecting author was drawn into a world of shadows and light... and now, he is bringing you along with him. Are you ready for the ride?

    ¨As a linguist and historian, I’ve always been fascinated by words and phrases. I am particularly interested in how certain idioms and expressions come to be picked up, where they originated and what, if any, history lies behind their origins. It was this interest that led me in 2018 to consider writing a paper on the dialect, idioms, and aphorisms used by people in my hometown. It was also what led the kid known as Skit to spend a night ‘Alone with The Devil’.In the small rural town where I grew up, in the hills of Northern England, the phrase “Alone with the Devil” is a very common one. It's a quaint, if mildly sinister, little idiom that if you stick around town long enough, you’re almost certain to hear.¨
