Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A Fortnight at the Front first appeared in 1915, in the thick of the First World War. Written as a timely account for the home front, it helped build support for the war effort and steady public morale. Read today, it shows how a clear, confident voice-and carefully chosen scenes-were used to shape opinion about life at the front.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Originally published in 1928, They Return at Evening collects thirteen ghost stories that helped shape modern supernatural fiction. With a refined, often chilling style, Wakefield moves beyond traditional Victorian ghosts to depict a more psychological and modern form of horror-quiet, civilized, and deeply unsettling. These stories span cursed houses, haunted golf courses, and spectral telephones, balancing eerie understatement with sudden shocks. 'The Red Lodge,' 'He Cometh and He Passeth By,' and 'The Seventeenth Hole at Duncaster,' are now regarded as classics of the genre.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Old Man's Beard' is a chilling collection of supernatural and weird fiction that showcases the mastery of H.R. Wakefield, one of the most prominent voices in the English ghost story tradition. This volume brings together a series of tales that blend atmospheric dread with a sophisticated psychological edge, moving beyond traditional hauntings to explore the darker corners of the human experience and the inexplicable phenomena that lurk just out of sight.The stories within this collection are celebrated for their ability to evoke a sense of unease through subtle suggestion and expert pacing. Wakefield's writing captures a unique transitional period in horror literature, bridging the gap between the classic Victorian ghost story and the modern era of psychological terror. From malevolent spirits to unsettling occurrences in the English countryside, each narrative is crafted with a precision that highlights the author's command over the macabre.Considered a significant contribution to 20th-century speculative fiction, 'Old Man's Beard' offers readers a compelling journey into the unknown. Its explorations of guilt, isolation, and the uncanny remain as potent today as when they were first conceived, making this work an essential read for aficionados of classic horror and supernatural literature.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
