This volume presents the weird fiction of the British writer Thomas Burke (1886-1945), author of the scintillating horror collection Night-Pieces (1935). One of the most distinctive is "Johnson Looked Back," a tour de force of second-person narration. But Burke--celebrated for his evocative tales of London's Chinatown, gathered in Limehouse Nights and other volumes--wrote other weird tales, scattered through his many other collections.
Ever since the Gothic novels of the late 18th century, supernatural horror has been a slender but provocative contribution to This volume constitutes the first occasion when Burke's complete supernatural writing has been gathered in a single volume.The Classics of Gothic Horror series seeks to reprint novels and stories from the leading writers of weird fiction over the past two centuries or more.
