This collection of stories and twice-told tales from around Somerset lifts the shrouds off many new and legendary hauntings, including some spine-tingling experienes as recounted to the author by Somerset townsfolk, villagers and visitors. Researching historical and contemporary sources. Haunted Somerset reveals its uniquely supernatural heritage from a coffin on the road, eerie Bath, the phantoms of Sedgemoor, Dunster Castle's ghostly sightings, headless horsemen, animal apparitions and Exmoor spectres... and if these are not enough to curdle your nervous system, a screaming skull and the grisly haunted associated with a curate murderered by some of his parishoners who was rumoured to have been cannibalised!

On March 31, 1922, the Gruber family and their servant were found dead in their secluded farmhouse in the picturesque German hamlet of Kaifeck. The family farm was a testament to hard work and perseverance, nestled among rolling hills and dense forests. The couple, Andreas and C zilia, had spent their lives cultivating the land and raising their daughter, Viktoria, and her two children. Despite the idyllic setting, dark forces lurked beneath the surface lay hidden passions and secrets. When a gruesome massacre left the family and their servant dead, the village was left reeling in shock. Investigations revealed that the Grubers had become estranged, with rumors of affairs and grudges lingering. Speculation ran wild, pointing fingers towards a possible wandering stranger or any potential suitor seeking to claim the family's fortune. In contrast, others suspect one of the family members hiding secret desires. As the years passed, the mystery deepened further, continuing to baffle investigators, with leads always coming up dry; whispers of supernatural forces circulated among the local population. Despite numerous investigations, no culprit has ever been identified, leaving only questions and speculation. The fate of the Gruber family seems destined to remain an eternal enigma. The German village continues to captivate those brave enough to confront its past. It has become infamous for the evil that lurks beneath the calm facade, waiting to strike without warning. Even the most seemingly tranquil settings can hide sinister and tragic memories.

The renowned scholar-poet John of Garland wrote the Integumenta Ovidii (“Allegories on Ovid”) in early thirteenth-century Paris at a time of renewed interest in Classical Latin literature. In this short poem, John offers a series of dense, highly allusive allegories on various Greek and Roman myths in Ovid’s Metamorphoses. This important but difficult work has fascinated and challenged generations of modern students and scholars. The text is here edited and translated for the first time in 90 years, drawing on the evidence of over two dozen manuscripts. Comprehensive explanatory notes help readers to understand John’s condensed allegories in their medieval context. Textual notes discuss the various difficulties in the transmitted text of the poem, and offer several improvements on the texts of the older editions.
