Uncanny

Two collections of weird tales pulled from The Novel Magazine were published in 1916 and 1918. This volume brings together all sixteen stories, which include traditional hauntings, vengeful spirits, cursed objects, and aid from the afterlife. Settings vary—a chess game has deadly consequences, unearthly bagpipes predict death for a clan member, a WW1 submarine has a ghostly occupant, and a bestial transformation marks a killer. They are perfect for evening reading when shadows grow dense and nocturnal sounds resonate through the dusky stillness.
