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
Mrs Amworth, the third volume in the series, covers the nineteen month period between April 1922 and November 1923: a period which, in weird fiction terms, was one of the most feverishly productive times in Fred’s entire career, and saw the publication of such classics as “The Horror-Horn”, “Negotium Perambulans . . .”, and the title story, one of the most famous of all vampire tales.
