Victorian chills from a great writer of the genre 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 BaringGould 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 BaringGould tried his hand at writing themit 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 BaringGoulds supernatural fiction includes three novelettes, Margery of Quether a chilling story that features an eternal succubus, A Professional Secret and Mustapha. Among the twentytwo 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. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
