Book Synopsis The Upper Berth, for the Blood Is the Life, and Other Horrors by : Francis Crawford
Download or read book The Upper Berth, for the Blood Is the Life, and Other Horrors written by Francis Crawford and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-05-03 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A supreme master of the short horror story, Edwardian writer F. Marion Crawford is frequently written off as a one-hit wonder, but his oeuvre of supernatural fiction - though small - has been tremendously influential to some of the most prolific horror writers of his time: H. P. Lovecraft and M. R. James in particular, who both admired Crawford and emulated his style. Five of his nine supernatural stories are considered classic masterpieces of the genre, frequently anthologized and adapted on screen and radio. They include stories of undead sailors, haunted dolls, the grim reaper on a date, screaming skulls, possession, smiles on dead faces, seductive vampires, vengeful ghosts, ghoulish bodies moaning in the bunk above, family curses, banshees, and doomed lovers. His tales continue to feature prominently in horror anthologies, but are rarely collected. This annotated and illustrated edition includes all five masterpieces, all of the stories included in his collection "Wandering Ghosts," and the rare tale "The King's Messenger." Vampires, ghouls, the undead, and the undying all slither across these pages. The problem is that they are unlikely to remain there - Crawford's stories have a habit of staying with their readers long after they have laid down the story and turned in for the night, so proceed with caution. TALES INCLUDED in this ANNOTATED EDITION: The Upper Berth - By the Waters of Paradise - The Screaming Skull - The King's Messenger - The Doll's Ghost - Man Overboard! - The Dead Smile - For the Blood is the Life

Book Synopsis The Collected Supernatural and Weird Fiction of F Marion Crawford by : F. Marion Crawford
Download or read book The Collected Supernatural and Weird Fiction of F Marion Crawford written by F. Marion Crawford and published by . This book was released on 2011-06 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume one of a collection of supernatural and weird tales by a forgotten master of the gothic and occult Although an American author, writer F(rancis) Marion Crawford was born in Northern Tuscany, the son of sculptor Thomas Crawford, he spent much of his life in the United States, living and working in Boston. His inherent sensitivity to Italy influenced much of his historical fiction. Indeed, in his novel 'Corleone, ' Crawford became the first author to prominently feature the now very familiar theme of the Mafia in fiction. He also produced notable works of history concerned with the various ages of Italy. Travels in the East and the study of Sanskrit in India gave him a grounding in the oriental and an interest in the other worldly. Although the themes of supernatural and weird fiction are often believed to be expressed to best effect in the short story most of Crawford's literary output consisted of novels. Fortunately, several of these include distinctly fantastical themes. His comparatively small oeuvre of short ghost and horror tales is so finely crafted that they have become some of the most highly regarded examples of the form in the English language. M. R James considered some of them to be among the best supernatural stories written, with the chilling and claustrophobic 'The Upper Berth' being especially singled out for merit. Crawford's talent for this genre is so widely acknowledged that it has been rightly noted that the greatest shame was that he did not write more-praise indeed! This five volume Leonaur collection of Crawford's strange novels, novellas and short stories provides a superb and substantial collection by one of Americas finest nineteenth century authors. This first volume includes the novel 'The Witch of Prague, ' a tale of obsession at the core of which is a woman of extraordinary powers aided by her familiar Arabian dwarf; a second novel 'Marzio's Crucifix' and the short story 'The Doll's Ghost, ' probably the first story using the now familiar theme of a doll seems possessing a terrible 'life' of its own. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.

'Mr Isaacs, ' the author's first published novel, leads off this fourth volume. Set in an India with which he was familiar, Crawford has written a satisfying tale of Anglo-Indian relationships enveloped in Oriental mystery. It is followed here by the novel 'Zoroaster, ' which is reminiscent of H. Rider Haggard's famous 'Ayesha.' 'By the Waters of Paradise, ' is a gothic short story set in the Welsh castle of an ancient family where death visits, leaving the question 'who is the Woman of the Water?' In the final story we have a satisfying tale of vampires, 'For the Blood is the Life.'
