'The first thing my dazed eyes fell upon was the mirror of black
glass... She held it so that I might gaze into its depths. And
there, with a cry of amazement and fear, I saw the shadow of the
Basilisk.' Through odysseys across dreamlike lands, Gothic love
affairs haunted by the shadow of death and uncanny episodes from
the Peak country, the portrait of a unique writer of the strange
tale emerges. With his florid, illustrative style and powerful
imagination, R. Murray Gilchrist's impact on the weird fiction
genre is unmistakable - and yet his name fell into obscurity
following his death. Exploring tales of annihilation and shattered
identities, fatalistic romances, bewildering visions of the sublime
and mythological evils preying on the innocent, this new anthology
is a journey through an entrancing and influential oeuvre essential
for any reader of the weird.
