This is the first of two volumes collecting together all the ghost stories of American writer Russell Kirk (1918-94). The eleven stories in this volume are: The Surly Sullen Bell', 'Behind the Stumps', 'Sorworth Place', 'Balgrummo's Hell', 'There's a Long, Long Trail A-Winding', 'Saviourgate', 'Off the Sand Road', 'Fate's Purse', 'The Princess of All Lands', 'An Encounter by Mortstone Pond', 'Lex Talionis'. Also included is his essay 'A Cautionary Note on the Ghostly Tale'. Includes an introduction by John Pelan.

To rectify this the full text of this story has been included as an appendix to the second volume: "What Shadows We Pursue".
