Arthur Pearson Ltd. London 1916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA rare collection of supernatural and horror stories collected from The Novel Magazine by C. Arthur Pearson Ltd. from 1916 in overall very good condition. The Novel Magazine was a major avenue up 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 and light shelf-wear. Please see pictures. The pages are crisp and clean save for some natural toning. Small tear to top of p. 60. 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 MORE 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan id=\"reviewTextContainer1086418755\" class=\"readable\"\u003e\u003cspan id=\"freeText10518862332716577261\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cu\u003ePlease see the other listing of the equally scarce first edition MORE UNCANNY STORIES from 1918.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Black Cat Caboodle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67928334958884,"sku":"kqi1793029574210","price":90.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1013\/5735\/5300\/files\/uncanny-stories-c-arthur-pearson-ltd-1st1st-1916-scarce-horror-supernatural_1.jpg?v=1793029582","url":"https:\/\/structuredstylewear.shop\/products\/uncanny-stories-c-arthur-pearson-ltd-1st1st-1916-scarce-horror-supernatural","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
