Publisher's Synopsis
In the first decade of the twentieth century, Julian Hawthorne collected his favorite weird stories from writers around the world and organized them, mostly geographically. The anthologies are Weird Fiction -- some of the stories are mystery; some would do well published as modern horror, or SF, or fantasy; all of them exquisite and of interest to modern genre readers. This volume includes stories from early nineteenth century Britain's masters of the weird, including Charles Dickens, Edward George Bulwer-Lytton, Charles Robert Maturin, and William Makepeace Thackeray.
