Haunts & Horrors
Strange & Supernatural Fiction by M. P. Shiel
M. P. Shiel died in 1947, but his dark imagination continues to influence writers and readers of weird and supernatural fiction today. These twelve stories demonstrate his talent for descriptive prose and the breadth of his vivid imagination. Shiel well deserves a place among the best of the early weird fiction writers. The stories included in this collection are Huguenin's Wife, The Spectre-Ship, Tulsah, Vaila, Xélucha, The Bride, A Shot at the Sun, The Bell of St. Sépulcre, The Great King, The Pale Ape, Dark Lot of One Saul, and The Place of Pain.

Über den Autor
Matthew Phipps Shiell (1865 - 1947) - known as M. P. Shiel - was a prolific British writer of West Indian descent. His legal surname remained Shiell though he adopted the shorter version as a de facto pen name. He is remembered mostly for supernatural horror and scientific romances. His work was published as serials, novels and as short stories. The Purple Cloud (1901, revised 1929) remains his most famous and often reprinted novel. Around 1899-1900 Shiel conceived a loosely linked trilogy of novels which were described by David G. Hartwell in his introduction to the Gregg Press edition of The Purple Cloud as possibly the first future history series in science fiction. Each was linked by similar introductory frame purporting to show that the novels were visions of progressively more distant futures glimpsed by a clairvoyant in a trance. Notebook I of the series had been plotted at least by 1898, but would not see print until published as The Last Miracle (1906). Notebook II became The Lord of the Sea (1901), which was recognized by contemporary readers as a critique of private ownership of land based on the theories of Henry George.
