Description:A new collection of macabre tales by H. Russell Wakefield - collects Wakefield's "introduction" and eighteen stories from the original 1940 Jenkins and expanded 1946 Arkham House editions. Adds three stories by Wakefield that were not previously collected with his weird fiction and an introduction by Barbara Roden."Wakefield was a consistently competent writer who took up where M R James left off in extending the core of the British tradition through the period between the wars."- Barron (ed), Horror Literature These eighteen new stories, together with an introduction, Why I Write Ghost Stories, represent the first new uncanny tales to be published in the United States since the notably successful They Return at Evening and Others Who Returned. "That there are many things in Heaven and on Earth for which we have no explanation, and for which, in all probability, we shall never have an explanation is certainly part of my philosophy; and I have never written a tale in which are recorded happenings that I do not believe could occur," writes Mr. Wakefield in his Introduction to this collection. "We have to remember and face the fact that we have not and cannot have, any acquaintance with more than a millionth part of what is called reality or the final truth about the universe."Contentsvii • Why I Write Ghost Stories • essay 3 • Into Outer Darkness • (1938) • short story 11 • The Alley • (1940) • short story 33 • Jay Walkers • (1940) • short story 47 • Ingredient X • (1940) • short story 59 • "I Recognized the Voice" • (1940) • short story 69 • Farewell Performance • (1940) • short story 77 • Not Quite Cricket • (1940) • short story 95 • In Collaboration • (1940) • short story 111 • A Stitch in Time • (1940) • short story 127 • Lucky's Grove • (1940) • short story 151 • Red Feathers • (1940) • short story 168 • Happy Ending? • (1940) • short story 177 • The First Sheaf • (1939) • short story 188 • Masrur • (1940) • short story 201 • A Fishing Story • (1935) • short story 212 • Used Car • (1932) • short story 228 • Death of a Poacher • (1935) • short story 244 • Knock!
