Book Description
Robert Murray Gilchrist (1868-1917) is perhaps best known for his
interest in topography, and for his stories set in Derbyshire's
Peak District. But he was also a master of mystery and horror, as
this richly varied collection shows. If you are looking for a
conventional horror story, in which the supernatural element is
paramount, try The Crimson Weaver, Dame Inowslad, Witch In-Grain,
or A Night on the Moor. If you are more taken with the psychology
of the participants, often allied to a fascination with the killing
of friends or lovers, then Francis Shackerley, The Noble Courtesan,
Althea Swathmore, and My Friend will be right up your street. For
humour we are offered the Peakland comedy of The Panicle or A Witch
in the Peak. And when it comes to love, there are the tragic and
poignant tales we might expect (The Return, The Lost Mistress. The
Madness of Betty Hooton), but also the engaging and unusual Bubble
Magic - a story of romantic betrayal which hints at a happy
ending.
