What is Tales of Terror and the Supernatural about?
Wilkie Collins (1824-1889), associate of Charles Dickens and author of 15 novels, is perhaps best remembered for his great mystery novel The Moonstone . But Collins also wrote several short stories, tales of terror and the supernatural, which many consider comparable to those of Poe and J. Sheridan LeFanu. This new edition contains twelve of Collins's most masterful horror tales - The Dream Woman, A Terribly Strange Bed, The Dead Hand, Fauntleroy, Blow Up with the Brig!, A Stolen Letter, The Lady of Glenwith Grange, Mr Policeman and the Cook, Me Lepel and the Housekeeper, Miss Bertha and the Yankee, Mad Monkton and The Biter Bit . Herbert van Thal, the noted authority on Victorian literature, has made the selection, and has also contributed a new introduction summarizing Collins's life and briefly evaluating his career. These tales are not easily forgotten; they feature unusually imaginative situations, couple with vivid descriptions and surprising plots, Collins's ventures into the shadowy realms of the half-dead, and his explorations of subtle, morbid psychology, strange diseases and uncanny coincidences are every bit as fascinating and terrifying as those of Poe.
