A.C. (Arthur Christopher) Benson
pubblicato da
Black Heath Editions
A.C. Benson (1862-1925) was a prolific academic and essayist, best-known for penning the words to 'Land of Hope and Glory'. A friend and contemporary of M.R. James, he was also an adept at the strange or uncanny tale. This collection gathers together thirteen of Benson's stories, together with two posthumously-published novellas: 'Basil Netherby', which tells of a young composer whose obsessions lead to visions of a terrifying netherworld, and 'The Uttermost Farthing', in which a reclusive spiritualist and his friends attempt to allay the unquiet phantom of a disgraced epicure. Benson's stories rank amongst the best supernatural fiction the Edwardian period has to offer and are a must for any fan of classic horror fiction!
