Self explanatory. Bernard Capes - A Queer Cicerone: ( The Fabulists, 1915: 100 Tiny Tales of Terror, 1996). The wicked Lord steps down from his portrait to conduct a tour around the Somerset family castle, exposing his sainted family as the lowest of the low. William Croft Dickinson - the Castle Guide: ( Dark Encounters, 1963). One June evening, the narrator is surprised to find the admission gate at St. Andrew's castle has yet to close and a guide if full voice describing the French siege of 1546 in suspiciously vivid detail. Charles Birkin - Dark Menace: ( Dark Menace, 1968). Appalling shock for Sir Cedric when he and posh pals take a private tour of the Black Museum at Scotland Yard. Ramsey Campbell - The End of a Summer's Day: ( Demons by Daylight, 1973). Honeymooning (?) Maria and Tony Thornton join a coach party on a day out to visit unspecified subterranean caverns .... Jack Oleck - Nightmare: ( House of Mystery #1 , 1973). Kelso drifts off from the Stonehenge coach party, meets with a grisly end on a druid's altar. Ramsey Campbell - Rising Generation: ( Worlds of Horror #4, 1975: 100 Twisted Little Tales of Torment, 1998). A school party visit a castle where a notorious Baron allegedly reprised The Plague of the Zombies in the basement. William F. Nolan - The Partnership: ( Shadows 3, 1980). Old Tad Miller lures the patrons of Sally Anne's diner to the derelict Happyland Amusement Park for a guided tour. Tina Rath - A Visit to Blastings Manor! : ( Yellow Advertiser, Dec. 1985: All Hallows #1, 1989). Stand-in guide relates the gory history of the England's most haunted manor house. Christopher Fowler - The Night Museum: ( Old Devil Moon, 2007). Before paying a visit, please study this brochure. Your very survival depends on it. John Llewellyn Probert - Guided Tour: ( Coffin Nails, 2008). Fresh from breaking up with his girl, a mortified Malcolm wanders into Coverleigh Manor just in time for a private viewing. Richard Laymon's Midnight's Lair (1988, as by 'Richard Kelly') and The Cellar (1980) & sequels qualify, almost certainly a horror strip or two. I'm sure there must be more?

Francis Stephens - The Chemical Man: (Richard Davis [ed.] Spectre 2, 1975). John Lister, a tour guide at Merton Hall, ancestral home of the Bridgewater family, is prescribed a new drug, Novatrax, to rectify a blood deficiency. A cruel side effect leaves him vulnerable to the secret hateful thoughts of the visitors. Lister at least gets to avenge himself on an obnoxious schoolkid and an embittered old bag before his world comes crashing down. Matt Haig - The Ghost Walk: (Anon [ed.], Haunted: Ghost Stories To Chill Your Blood, 2011). Dare you take Dorian Deadwater's evening Ghost Tour of York's most haunted sites?
