The Collected Supernatural and Weird Fiction of Sabine Baring-Gould by Sabine Barin Gould
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 747 kb
Overview: As with so many writers of the nineteenth century, the author of this single volume collection of tales of the supernatural and other worldly, Sabine Baring-Gould was a man of many talents. Born near Exeter in 1834, his output was astonishing and his bibliography contains at least 1,240 works. In his time he was a well known and admired antiquarian, scholar and novelist. Many remember him as a writer of hymns, among which ‘Onward Christian Soldiers’ is the most well known today. The ghost story was such a popular literary form in the Victorian period that it barely needs saying that Baring-Gould tried his hand at writing them-it would be more surprising if he had not. This did not guarantee he would be a good writer of chilling tales, but fortunately for posterity he was. This Leonaur collection of Baring-Gould’s supernatural fiction includes three novelettes, ‘Margery of Quether’ a chilling story that features an eternal succubus, ‘A Professional Secret’ and ‘Mustapha.’ Among the twenty-two short stories in this substantial Leonaur edition readers will find ‘Crowdy Marsh,’ ‘Glamr,’ ‘The Dead Trumpeter of Hurst Castle,’ ‘The 9.30 Up Train,’ ‘The ‘Bold Venture’ and many others.
