Requirements: ePUB Reader, 204 kB
Overview: William Croft Dickinson (1897 ~ 1963) was an English historian and writer. He was one of the foremost experts in the history of early modern Scotland (his first scholarly work appeared in The Scottish Historical Review in 1922) and the author of both fiction for children and ghost stories for adults. Dickinson loved a good story; one of his many accomplishments whilst at the University of St. Andrews, which he attended from 1915, ‘is said to have been spinning impossible yarns to unwary visitors’.
Genre: Horror
Written in the tradition of M. R. James, his stories have been referred to as ‘Ghost Stories of a Scottish Antiquary’.
If you like tales about bookish scholars going poking around in ruined places that are best left unpoked, or uncovering dusty old manuscripts that are best left undiscovered and unread, then you’re bound to like Dark Encounters. The tales in the collection will leave you in no doubt that scholarly curiosity is a dangerous thing.
