Arthur Pearson Ltd., London (1918)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA rare collection of supernatural and horror  stories collected from The Novel Magazine by C. Arthur Pearson Ltd., from 1918, in overall very good condition. The Novel Magazine was a major avenue for \"up and coming\" late 19th and early 20th century supernatural and horror writers as a venue to  publish their works. The boards and binding are solid and tight, save for  some minor fading along the spine and light general shelf-wear. The pages are crisp  and clean save for some natural toning. Please see below for more information on this very scarce first edition work, and the stories therein. ALSO: Check out our other listing for the equally scarce UNCANNY STORIES (also a first edition). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBook  Review and  Description\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo collections of weird tales pulled  from The Novel Magazine were \npublished in 1916 and 1918 as Uncanny  Stories and More Uncanny Stories. Both books include traditional  hauntings, vengeful spirits, cursed \nobjects, and aid from the afterlife. Settings vary-a chess game has \ndeadly consequences, unearthly bagpipes predict death for a clan member,\n a WW1 submarine has a ghostly occupant, and a bestial transformation \nmarks a killer. They are perfect for evening reading when shadows grow \ndense and nocturnal sounds resonate through the dusky stillness.  The \nstories included are The Unknown Quantity, The Armless Man, The Tomtom \nClue, The Case of Sir Alister Moeran, The Kiss, The Goth, The Last \nAscent, The Terror by Night, The Tragedy at the Loup Noir, The Mailed \nFoot, The Pipers of Mallory, Visiting Rounds, The Jungle, The Haunted \nChessmen,  The Eighth Lamp, and Bill Dixon Stands  By.\u003cspan id=\"reviewTextContainer1086418755\" class=\"readable\"\u003e\u003cspan id=\"freeText10518862332716577261\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease  see the other listing of UNCANNY STORIES, from 1916.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Black Cat Caboodle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67928333484324,"sku":"kqi1793029552211","price":89.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1013\/5735\/5300\/files\/more-uncanny-stories-c-arthur-pearson-ltd-1st1st-1918-scarce-horror_1.jpg?v=1793029564","url":"https:\/\/structuredstylewear.shop\/products\/more-uncanny-stories-c-arthur-pearson-ltd-1st1st-1918-scarce-horror","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
