This is a collection of stories spanning the fields of mystery, horror, satire and science fiction. It takes the reader on a journey from Ancient Egypt to the 21st century as a succession of stalwart investigators confront a mystery that is handed down from generation to generation.

Some things are so wrong that they can never be put right, never atoned for, never let lie. These are unforgivable stories. In this collection, Kim Newman re-opens some of the great closed cases of fantasy and horror fiction, returning us to the worlds of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Edgar Allan Poe, the Victorian Ghost story, and Count Dracula. In each case, these familiar universes are altered, shown in a new, unusual light. Here, we visit a 1960s Britain that is bogged down in a war in Indo-China, an American city that has been home to the four-coloured heroes and villains of generations of comic books, a Paris of Bogart and Bergman and other fantastical archetypes, and a frontier where there''s no law west of Bristol but the gun and the iron horse. Including stories written in collaboration with novelists Eugene Byrne (THiGMOO) and Paul J. McAuley (Fairyland), this collection touches on all the horrors and humours Kim Newman has explored in novels like Anno Dracula, The Quorum and Life''s Lottery. Unforgivable, but also unforgettable ...
