Ernest R. Suffling 3 hr 46 min read

A writer in search of tales collects strange and uncanny stories, weaving together the eerie and the wondrous in a garland of Victorian fantasy and horror.

Ernest R. Suffling's 1896 collection gathers atmospheric tales of mystery and the supernatural. Vivid, varied, of its era. Read it for a genial Victorian miscellany from the author of a popular Crusoe-style romance, a framing 'story hunter' gathering ghostly and fantastic tales, in the warm, discursive storytelling style of the late nineteenth century.
