The Watcher By The Threshold Paperback

"The Watcher by the Threshold" by John Buchan is a chilling collection of supernatural tales that will grip your imagination and send shivers down your spine. Set against the haunting backdrop of the Scottish Highlands, these stories delve into the mysterious and eerie forces that linger beyond human understanding.

In the title story, a man inherits an ancient estate, only to discover that he is not alone—an unseen presence lurks at the edges of his perception, watching and waiting. As the tension builds, he must confront a sinister force threatening his sanity. Other tales, like " No-Man's Land" and "The Far Islands," explore encounters with unearthly beings, forgotten legends, and the dark powers that dwell in remote and shadowy corners of the world.

With rich descriptions of misty moors, forbidding mountains, and lonely lochs, Buchan masterfully evokes a sense of dread and isolation. Each story is a journey into the unknown, where ancient curses, vengeful spirits, and the supernatural challenge the boundaries of reality.
