Product Description

Alice and Claude Askew were prolific writers in the early years of the 20th century, producing a variety of novels and short stories. First published in 1914, the Aylmer Vance stories were their first and only venture into the supernatural, and although very popular at the time, went out of print for many years. This title is part of the Wordsworth Mystery & Supernatural series, which includes many classic tales, some familiar, some less so.

Customer Reviews

Classics everyone can afford.
Firstly my thanks to Wordsworth Editions publishers. They have brought back in their massive library of collections some truly wonderful and rare works to be appreciated again. Not only have they brought them back but they have done so at a cheap price. What a fantastic publishing house!

This book is a thin volume of 127 pages but each page is packed. The stories contained within this volume are;
"The Invader"
"The Stranger"
"Lady Green-Sleeves"
"The Fire Unquenchable"
"The Vampire"
"The Boy Of Blackstock"
"The Indissoluble Bond"
and
"The Fear".

The stories themselves are not unlike the tales of Sherlock Holmes but with supernatural edge.
Superb tales that are perfect for reading over Christmas or dark winter evenings.
A perfect stocking filler for that member of the family who revels in spooky.
Highly recommended.
