Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. Near Fine dj. Expanded edition. [no discernible wear to book, although a handful of pages have short diagonal creases at the upper corners from having been turned down as markers (why, oh why? -- this is why BOOKMARKS were invented, people!), and the former owner's initials plus date & place of pu…rchase are written in ink on recto of rear endpaper; the jacket is flawless apart from some very slight wrinkling at the bottom of the rear panel]. (B&W photo frontispiece) A collection of short stories by Capes (1854-1918), including "some of the most imaginative tales of terror of his era: stories of werewolves and the Wandering Jew, of lost souls and vengeful suicides, of horrors from beyond the grave which enfold the unsuspecting." This is an expanded edition of a book first published in 1989, "augmented by a further eleven stories, most of which have not been seen since their original book publication more than eighty years ago. Lamb's revised introduction also makes use of new biographical information which has only recently come to light, providing the most comprehensive look available at this forgotten master of terror." This first printing was limited to 600 copies. Illustrated by (dj illus) Richard Lamb (illustrator).

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Near Fine dj. First Edition Thus. [sharp-looking copy, with no wear at all to book, and no internal markings; the jacket has the teensiest bit of surface wear (although you'll never notice it in its new mylar jacket cover)]. A new "augmented edition" of the author's only short-story collection, with tal…es ranging "from the idyllic to the macabre" -- mostly the latter, including the title story and the acknowledged classic "Whittington's Cat," about a young man tormented by a giant demonic feline. (The "augmentation" consists of a long Introduction about the author, by Christopher Roden, and the addition of two stories, "The Little Mermaid" and "No Ships Pass," that had not appeared in previous editions.) Although she lived only to the age of 43, Lady Smith racked up a lot of experience. Before she began turning out short fiction and the occasional novel in the early 1930s, she had already been a society reporter, a film critic and a circus publicist; she drew on all these careers to evoke, in her fiction, "the enchantment of the circus, the glamour of gypsydom, [and] the very spirit of the theatre." A number of her novels were adapted into British films in the 1930s and 1940s, and somehow she also found time to write a memoir of her travels, "Life's a Circus," published in 1939. The printing of this edition was limited to 500 copies. Illustrated by (dj painting) Paul Lowe (illustrator).

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. Brown, Alice: THE EMPIRE OF DEATH AND OTHER STRANGE STORIES. British Columbia: Ash-Tree Press, 2003. First Edition. Hardcover limited to 500 copies. As New in dust jacket. American Victorian and Edwardian ghost stories, edited with introduction on the…life of Alice Brown by . SIGNED by the editor. The great trinity of New England genre writers consists of Sarah Orne Jewett, Mary E. Wilkins-Freeman, and Alice Brown. Each wrote just enough supernatural fiction to fill one solid volume. Alice Brown's weird tales were most varied, in that she was not restricted to the regional ghost story exclusively. Among her stories we may count the ghost story "There and Here" with lesbian undertones unexpected of a Victorian era tale, and "Old Lemuel's Journey" a regionalist tale of time travel. Many of her ghost stories move away from the New England genre entirely, as do the horrific "The Flying Teuton" wartime sea haunting, the eerie and mystic sea adventure "Golden Baby," and the horrifying mystic tale of "The Island" which also takes place at sea. "The Empire of Death" is in particular a high point, an Arthur Machenesque tale of the first world war too disturbing for any magazine editor of its day. A young German soldier upon death on the battlefield drags the spirit of an American soldier (his pre-war friend) with him upon a terrifying ghostly journey, a story as sorrowful as it is terrifying and just. There are eleven weird tales in all, previously scattered thinly amidst many collections, with some of them never before collected at all (i.e. , "Old Lemuel's Journey," "The Man Who Wanted to be Safe," and "Envoy Extraordinary"). There is in addition an addendum of Alice Brown's weird poems ranging from her fantasy of "Pan" to such ghostly vignettes as "The Ghost Speaks" and "They Return" to the visionary "Descent into Hell." AUTOGRAPHED by the editor. Signed by Author(s).

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht. Edith Nesbit is renowned for her children's literature, particularly her classic 1906 novel, but she also harbored a darker side showcased in her tales of terror and the supernatural. These stories were predominantly written before she gained fame as a children's author and w…ere largely forgotten for nearly a century. In 1988, Hugh Lamb edited an anthology that revived some of her chilling works, and this expanded edition includes additional stories. Notable tales such as 'Man-Size in Marble' and 'John Charrington's Wedding' are featured alongside lesser-known but equally haunting narratives. Nesbit's eerie world features the dead returning, scientists crossing into death, souls bartered for wishes, and madness stemming from casual wagers. In his introduction, Lamb explores Nesbit's vibrant life, highlighting how her unconventional experiences distinguished her from her Victorian and Edwardian peers in the ghost story genre. He also delves into the events that inspired her supernatural fiction, which she described as bringing her "nights and nights of anguish and horror." The collection includes a variety of stories, each weaving themes of the macabre and the supernatural.
