Uncanny fiction by a master of the weird tale, brought together for the 150th anniversary of his birth. Scottish author John Buchan is known today for The Thirty-Nine Steps, but this collection turns attention to his contribution to early weird fiction. Edited by strange fiction expert James Machin, it gathers some of Buchan's classic uncanny tales, including stories from The Runagates Club.
The selection also brings back tales rescued from rare periodicals of the early twentieth century, offering readers a chance to encounter work that has been difficult to find. At 256 pages, this cloth edition suits readers of supernatural fiction, literary anthologies, and classic British writing. Published to mark Buchan's 150th birth anniversary, it asks a fresh question of a familiar author: what unsettling corners of his fiction have readers yet to discover?
