British Weird

9 short stories by classic British writers, and an influential 1933 essay on British supernatural writing. You'll be surprised by some of these authors, not usually classified as horror writers, but they certainly deliver here. It’s the Britishness that works so well here: themes, settings and characters that reveal peculiarly British preoccupations in Weird fiction. The cover image is by Alexander Leydenfrost, from a 1949 issue of Famous Fantastic Mysteries, illustrating the Buchan story republished here.
