Octavo, black cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, 186 pp. Near-Fine, with neat former-owner stamp to ffep.; in a Near-Fine, mylar protected dust jacket that is age darkened. From dust jacket: Although it is fifteen years since a collection of ghost stories bearing the byline of H. Russell Wakefiled has been offered to the reading public, it is evident from the first page to the last of this new book that the skilled hand of this master teller of tales has lost none of its art. With considered judgement, the distinguieshed poet-critic John Betjeman recently wrote in the London Daily Telegraph, M. R. James is the greatest master of the ghost story. Henry James, Sheridan LeFanu, and H. Russelll Wakefiled are equal seconds. Mr. Wakefield is now certainly the dean of ghost story writers, and only a writer thoroughly a master of his craft could have turned out such memorable tales as Immortal Bird or Ghost Hunt or the delicate Gorge of the Churels, all of which are to be found in the pages of this book, together with such other tales as The Sepulchre of Jasper Sarasen, The Third Shadow, The Middle Drawer, Four-Eyes, and more, including an unforgettable novelette, Monstrous Regiment. The vogue of the ghost story will not pass as long as such a consummate artist in the genre continues to write. Literature, Horror, Anthology, Macabre, Fiction. Seller Inventory # 3009bd
