CLASSIC EARLY HORROR IN THE STYLE OF MR JAMES BY A FRIEND AND
COLLEAGUE
""This Society consisteth of seven Everlastings, who may be
Corporeal or Incorporeal, as Destiny shall determine.""
So dictates the first rule of The Everlasting Club, the ghastly
and debauched history of which is faithfully recorded herein.
Assembled alongside are further narratives of supernatural
misadventure and menace, including the curious tale of the death of
mathematician Thomas Allen, possible necromancer, definite murder
victim; the story of the final days of alchemist Anthony Fryar,
discoverer of the Magisterium - the 'master-cure for all human
ailments', but sadly not soon enough; and Matthew Makepeace's
cautionary tale of unforeseen regret wrought from the dark art of
soul transference. These and more ghoulish, macabre classics are
reproduced as originally presented in 1919, in this deliciously
dark collection.
Stunning, digitally re-mastered illustrations
'Ingulphus' was the pseudonym of Arthur Gray (1852-1940), Master
of Jesus College, Cambridge from 1912-40. It is this location that
acts as the setting for the series of stories originally written
for magazines and then collected as Tedious Brief Tales of Granta
and Gramarye.
A contemporary of M.R. James, Gray wrote these stories in
similar style as a compliment to the King's College Provost. With
digitally remastered illustrations and a completely re-set text,
Oleander's reproduction of this long-lost and much sought-after
collection of ghost stories is bound to delight lovers of this
classic style of supernatural literature.
