Murray Gilchrist was lauded for his imagination and florid, illustrative style during the fin-de-siecle period, and this new collection showcases the very best of his short fiction. Despite being admired by H. G. Wells and described by Arnold Bennett as \"almost the peak of perfection in that difficult genre [of short fiction],\" Gilchrist and his works are now largely forgotten. Packed with thrilling encounters and unforgettable descriptions from the weirdest ebb of the writer's mind, this anthology aims to introduce a new readership to Gilchrist's entrancing and influential oeuvre.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eR Murray Gilchrist\u003c\/b\u003e (1867-1917) was a prolific writer, penning twenty-two novels, four regional guide books, and six short story collections mostly from his home in the Peak District.
