Music When Soft Voices Die (Fantasy and Horror Classics)

About this book

Music When Soft Voices Die is a signature work of post-war Gothic horror, originally published in Cross' landmark collection, The Other Passenger (1944).

The story is a masterclass in building psychological dread, often characterised by a quiet, mounting tension that leaves the reader questioning the line between sanity and the spectral. Cross trades graphic gore for a sophisticated atmosphere of menace, touching upon themes of loss, obsession, and the haunting persistence of memory. This tale, like much of Cross's work, captures the essence of classic British ghost story tradition while adding a modern, unsettling edge.

From the influential mid 20th century Scottish author and editor John Keir Cross, best known for his macabre and subtly chilling supernatural fiction, comes one of his most highly regarded short stories.

This short fiction gem is a must-read for fans of 20th-century Gothic tales, literary horror, and the unsettling power of the unspoken and unseen
