"I am, and ever have been, a great reader . . . a library cormorant. I am deep in all out of the way books." - S. T. Coleridge (1796)

The twelve stories in Lost Estates offer antiquarian mysteries, book-collecting adventures, and otherworldly encounters. Mark Valentine's amiable scholars and wanderers explore lonely and mysterious landscapes, places of legend, and secret history. Though drawing on the traditions of English supernatural fiction, these stories also strike out into unusual terrain.

Mark Valentine's short stories have been selected for the Ghosts & Scholars books edited by Rosemary Pardoe, Best British Short Stories edited by Nicholas Royle, Best New Horror edited by Stephen Jones, The Mammoth Books of Ghost Stories edited by Richard Dalby, and many other anthologies.

Industry Reviews

"If you have ever wondered about the boundaries between strange tales and even stranger realities, you will enjoy exploring [Valentine's] frequently familiar yet often unsettling world." - Supernatural Tales

"Valentine [interweaves] the numinous and mysterious into the tapestry of the English landscape and English tradition." - Ghosts & Scholars

"Lost Estates gathers stories by Valentine that share in common various aspects of folk horror . . . [he] paints a picture of a landscape redolent of mystery and linked via a thin veil to a heritage of ancient wisdom and arcane lore. Highly recommended." - John Kenny
