Book Excerpt: 
. . . no land within five hundred miles, and the ship coming up and falling off as regularly as clockwork—"Biddy te boor beebles ashore tis night, poys!" old Blauklot sang out, as he went off to his quarters with the sail-maker. I often think of that, now that I'm ashore for good and all.

Yes, it was on a night like this, when I was at home for a spell, waiting to take the Olympia out on her first trip—it was on the next voyage that she broke the record, you remember—but that dates it. Ninety-two was the year, early in November.

The weather was dirty, Pratt was out of temper, and the dinner was bad, very bad indeed, which didn't improve matters, and cold, which made it worse. The poor little lady was very unhappy about it, and insisted on making a Welsh rarebit[Pg 46] on the table to counteract the raw turnips and the half-boiled mutton. Pratt must have had a hard day. Perhaps he had lost a patient. At all events, he was in a nasty temper.Read More

I checked this out after hearing that one of the stories was a vampire tale. It turned out to be a psychic vampire, but still, it was interesting. Actually every one of the three stories I read was interesting, though verbose. That's not to say they were poorly written. They were just written for a

These eight short stories by F. Marion Crawford remind me of the supernatural fiction of John Buchan. Both authors were accomplished popular authors of their day, skillful at painting a scene, relating a conflict or encounter, and creating a memorable effect. Both of them, however, seem to be men of

I like to sink into a story, and it needs to be longer than 30 pages (the longest one in thi

El escritor norteamericano Francis Marion Crawford es un gran desconocido actualmente. Sin embargo, en su época, finales del siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX, tuvo una gran relevancia. Hoy en día, sería un autor olvidado si no fuese por sus relatos de terror, recogidos inicialmente en su ya céleb

Valdemar recuperó a un autor casi olvidado con la publicación de La calavera aullante y otros relatos de fantasmas espeluznantes. Gracias a su labor de redescubrimiento de autores tan solo conocidos por los más eruditos en la materia, podemos disfrutar de notables antologías como la que nos

Z początku moje pierwsze spotkanie z twórczością F. Mariona Crawforda zapowiadało się na kompletną porażkę. Pierwsze dwa opowiadania - „Upiorny uśmiech” i “Wrzeszcząca Czaszka” z “Wędrownych duchów” nie przypadły mi jakoś wyjątkowo do gustu, a czytając drugie wręcz się wymęczyłam. Naczytałam się jak

Autor desconocido merecidamente por ser tan bueno. Relatos hechos con amor, miedo y placer. El resultado es terrorífico.

El no escribir por dinero, ni tener la presión y subidón de la fama. Hace que se escriba como a uno le sale, y no como se quiere.
