    Peculiar happenings aboard the schooner Helen B. Jackson when one night during a storm, the small crew found themselves diminished by one. Somebody had gone overboard, and it was surmised that it was one of the twin Benton brothers. But oddly enough, it seemed that the 'presence' of the missing twin continued to exist on board during the following weeks. For example, one extra set of silverware was found to be used after each meal, but nobody claimed to be using them. What then did happen that stormy night, and which brother, if indeed it was one of the brothers, was the man who went overboard?

    In the fading New England village of Stillwater, the dead are supposed to lie quietly. But when a violent drunk collapses and is mistakenly declared dead, and an undertaker experimenting with strange embalming fluids meets the same fate, the earth refuses to keep their secrets buried. 
    At the heart of it all is Sophie Sprague—fearful, isolated, and trapped beneath the shadow of her brutal brother Tom and the unwanted attentions of Henry Thorndike, the town’s unsettling undertaker. When both men are laid to rest in a hurried double funeral, their passing stirs whispers through the town. Henry’s dying plea—“I am not dead… do not bury me!”—is brushed aside. But that night, Sophie hears voices rising faintly from the burying-ground, voices that call her by name… voices that accuse. 
    Meanwhile, Johnny Dow, the simple-minded boy who assisted Henry, roams the graveyard claiming the dead are trying to speak—and that they are not done with Sophie. 
    Written by Hazel Heald and H. P. Lovecraft, The Horror in the Burying-Ground is a chilling tale of guilt, rumor, and premature burial—where the line between conscience and the supernatural blurs, and the past refuses to stay underground. 
    Narrated with atmospheric tension by Phil Thompson, this classic short horror story delivers creeping dread the way only early 20th-century New England terror can.

    'Joel Lane's imagination is bleak. But it is also the imagination of a poet.'
    
    – M John Harrison, author of The Sunken Land Begins to Rise Again
    WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY CONRAD WILLIAMS
    
    Set in a post-industrial landscape of the present, the near future, and the imagined, Joel Lane's seminal collection The Lost District explores human encounters with the unknown: sexual discovery, drug-inspired visions, the lonely paths of madness, and the shadow realms on the other side of death.
    A neighbourhood fades into corrupt echoes of itself; a porn actor's scars reveal the forces controlling his life; a musician is haunted by the madness of a deceased singer; and a man literally follows his ex-lover to the end of the world.
    
    Ranging from grim urban horror to strange erotic fantasies to bitter allegories of loss and exploitation, the stories in The Lost District link the hidden places in the urban and small-town landscapes to the secret spaces inside all of us.
    First published in the USA in 2006, and long out-of-print, The Lost District has never been published in the UK until now, further enforcing Joel Lane's reputation as one of the most significant and distinctive British writers of the weird.
