Review & Description
UNCANNY TALES
by F. Marion Crawford (1854-1909)
Seven CLASSIC Stories of Ghosts, Vampires, and Witches
Publisher’s Note to the NEW 2011 Kindle edition, 1/5/2011:
To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the original print edition of UNCANNY TALES, GideonFell Books, Ltd. has gone back to the source and restored to their original form the first and last stories in this collection. Later editions of this book presented abridged versions of both “The Dead Smile” and “The Doll’s Ghost,” which deviated greatly from the author’s original intention made evident in the 1911 First Edition. We have also included in this revised eBook both the original cover and front-piece title page, so now this classic work of horror and fantasy (containing the short story which both Dorothy L. Sayers AND Stephen King have called the “greatest ghost story ever written”: THE UPPER BERTH) can be read as it first appeared in book-form a century ago—with all the thrills and chills are just as fresh a hundred years later.
This is one of the all-time CLASSIC collections of ghost stories by American author F. Marion Crawford. Crawford wrote dozens of novels (many set in Ancient Rome), but today he is best remembered for his classic ghost stories, such as "THE UPPER BERTH" considered by many the "greatest" of ghost stories, and "MAN OVERBOARD!", as well as the classic Gothic vampire tale, "FOR THE BLOOD IS THE LIFE." The other stories in this collection are likewise classic tales: "THE DEAD SMILE," "THE SCREAMING SKULL," "BY THE WATERS OF PARADISE," and "THE DOLL'S GHOST."
