"Our forefathers looked upon nature with more reverence and horror, before the world was enlightened by learning and philosophy, and loved to astonish themselves with apprehensions of witchcraft, prodigies, charms, and enchantments. There was not a village in England that had not a ghost in it, the churchyards were all haunted, every large common had a circle of fairies belonging to it, and there was scarce a shepherd to be met with who had not seen a spirit." - Joseph Addison, 1712
With my introduction to Hellebore, I was absolutely thrilled with this special edition dedicated to ghosts and hauntings relating to the festive season.
From ghostly apparitions of Roman soldiers to the most haunted house in Britain, the outpouring of Spiritualism linked to the tragic expedition of the HMS Erebus and Terror to the horrifying experiences of parasomnias, this intricately designed Yuletide edition peaked my love of the uncanny and macabre to make perfect fireside reading on a dark winter night.
While this may have been the first edition of Hellebore that I have read, as you can see, I have already begun to purchase more of the previous editions as I engulfed this latest publication so quickly I couldn't wait to get my hands on more! From now on, Hellebore will be a welcome addition to my reading collection.
