Originally published in 1949, Tomato Cain and Other Stories is the
sole collection of short fiction by Nigel Kneale. Drawing on his
experiences of growing up on the Isle of Man, many of Kneale's
tales conjure up a remote, old-fashioned community where mythology
and superstition are part of everyday life. Several stories go
further, making imaginative leaps into the kind of weird, eerie
territory with which Kneale would go on to make his name, as the
writer of TV's Quatermass, The Road, Beasts and The Stone Tape.
Though garlanded with praise on publication - it won its author the
1950 Somerset Maugham Award - Tomato Cain has long since been out
of print. This new edition is published to mark the centenary of
Kneale's birth, uniting the stories from both the original UK and
US editions for the first time ever. It's sure to delight Kneale's
legions of fans and indeed all admirers of skilfully-crafted short
stories.
