Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Fired up by the accounts of exploring parties in the nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries, writers of the weird and supernatural
began to construct a literary Arctic and Antarctic in which terrors
lay undiscovered in the ice and gateways to bizarre hidden worlds
were waiting. From James Hogg's lurid North Pole narrative of life
amongst polar bears in 'The Surpassing Adventures of Allan Gordon'
to tales of mad science and ghostly visitations among the
wind-blown expanse of the southern continent, this new collection
showcases a wealth of neglected material and an overlooked niche of
literature obsessed with the limits of human experience. Pulp tales
of alien forces emerging from the ice and a battle between hunter
and invisible man-eating duck creature drift alongside modern
horror from indigenous Arctic voices to show the extent and
endurance of the lure of these sublime landscapes.
