E. F. Benson, this collected edition will present all the recently discovered weird tales from The Flint Knife: Further Spook Stories (1988), and those from the "Spook Stories" sections of Desirable Residences (1991) and Fine Feathers (1994), as well as any "new" supernatural stories which may surface in the course of further research. It will also feature a radical rearranging of the stories themselves into their chronological order of composition and publication.
About
The Terror by Night, the first volume in the series, covers the period between 1899 and 1911, and demonstrates Benson's early mastery of his craft, in such stories as "Caterpillars", "The Man Who Went Too Far", "Gavon's Eve", and "The Bus-Conductor", the basis for one of the stories in the classic supernatural film Dead of Night. This 1998 limited edition hardcover of 600 copies, with a dust jacket illustrated by Rob Suggs, made Benson's complete supernatural fiction accessible to modern readers and collectors.
